How do you protect your digital camera? Hopefully not by staying indoors when the weather gets interesting.
In this podcast, I discuss some of my favorite ways to protect my cameras in all sorts of weather conditions: from the depths of the ocean to a showery afternoon in the country. Often, these are the situations when you can find some of the most interesting shots.
Want to see what you can do with an $150 underwater housing and a compact point and shoot? Take a look at my underwater gallery from the Caribbean.

Regarding the O-rings, You actually don't need to grease it with silicone gel every day. I've been diving with my D200, and I only grease it before and after a dive trip. You don't need a lot of grease , just enough. I feel that the key to the O-ring is to make sure the o-ring is in good condition and that there's no dirty in the o-ring. A piece of hair running across the o-ring will break the seal. Sand will also break the seal.
Just my 2 sec. If you want more info, I usually go to wetpixel.com for more information. They have a large group of underwater photographers there on the forums.
