I was just testing out my TK20 in a swimming pool at a depth of 3m, and I was swimming for about 10 minutes (submerged). The body was totally dry but there seems to be at least one ml of water that has entered from the lens.

Has anyone had this problem with other lights?

My plan is to use the boil and pipe grip method (the ones with rubber bands).

Is a head disassembly the only solution?

Since the head is not user serviceable I would expect it to be more water tight that the body components. The switch was totally dry too, which was operated at depth.
