Silicone grease can be had from most hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot. Dive shops carry it too but it's $$$.

Ty rusty that will give me a idea of what to look for.

You are welcome mlm!
More, you don't need a particular "Brand". There is some question whether to use Dielectric Silicone Grease or just regular Silicon grease.
Really, I'm not sure if there is a difference.
You need very little of the silicone grease and I wouldn't put it on areas that will be exposed to dirt and sand.
Best of Luck!

I went to my local dive shop, got a small green tub of silicone for $3.99... I used a very little bit, enough to put a sheen on the connections. Anywhere there is a connection with an O-ring, The battery housing, coil and headphones...Now that I think of it, I also applied some to the rubber grommets down at the connection from the shaft to the coil.. will find out sooner or later if I shouldn't have gone that far...oh and by the way, I got the Grey Ghost amphibians... the sound isn't all that different than the stock headphones. Got my scoop, ready to go.

I looked up "silicone dive grease" on Amazon and purchased about a 1/2" little jar of it and it has lasted me for years with little used out of it. I use it every few months on my detector O-rings and I lubed up an AT Pro for someone. I think it was under $5.00 at the time.
