The M2 and M3 are designed to be waterproof but not the Lexan lensed Millennium TurboHeads. (Call SureFire for the specifics on whether or not they are 'offically' waterproof I'm not sure)
The M2 & M3 have 'screw-in' Pyrex lenses which are far better sealed then the 'pop-in-snap-fit' Lexan lenses. [the screw-in lenses can not be changed by the user as they are glued also]
The new Millennium TurboHead will have a Pyrex lens later this year. This should significantly improve the watertightness of the TurboHead unit.
I've had no problems with taking the M3T & M6 underwater in unheated outdoor pools, and a lake [I wasn't in the lake as it was very cold, very green and at night]
I'd advise against taking any metal flashlight into a warm-hot pool as the rubber seals and the metal expand at different rates being different materials. This may increase the risk of leaks.
I'm not certain, but I think it was the TailCap seals that leaked in Brock's case...
Call SureFire Customer Service and talk to them out waterproofing. They maybe able to help with any special requirements you have... I'm not sure what the current SureFire line is. Hopefully the next www.SureFire.com site update will enlighten us.
The Nitrolon Series and the E1 are not waterproof. The new M2 prototype has not leaked underwater. I've not been able to damage it in any way. In my experience, the "Shock Absorbing System" (S.A.S.) is the best thing to happen to the 6V Lithium Flashlights.
