Flooded digital camera

[penders]

I forgot to shut my waterproof camera case on my Olympus C750 when scuba diving
It still manages to turn on, with sound, but that's about it.
Has anyone got any idea as to whether this is repairable, is it worth repairing (looks like I could pick up a second hand one for around £150) and if so, any recommendations as to where to get it repaired?

thanks

The circuit boards and components inside will be corroded and to be honest I think you would pay as much to get it repaired as buy a new one.
Is it maybe covered by an insurance policy? If it was included on your home contents that sometimes covers you for holiday or travel.

sounds crazy but the best thing would have been to remove the battery and memory card then rinse it out in freshwater for a long while. I mean its flooded anyway! this would have removed the salt and stopped the corrosion if you then left it to dry in somewhere like an airing cupboard for a few days
Dropped my SE K700i in a puddle of sea water on a yacht while sailing in the solent. Washed it out worked for about 4 months afterwards then i dropped it on new years eve last year and it broke
