I finally completed the set of logger build tutorials on Youtube (to go with the screw terminal logger posted in 2017) with:
Epoxy the sensors & build waterproof connectors
Pro tip: Don't use soft silicone-jacket cables on deep deployments. We've had several long one-wire networks fail after 5-6 months at 20-50m depth. The sensors were fine, the loggers were fine: the soft insulation compressed over time, changing the bus capacitance & pushing the timing out of spec so the sensors slowly dropped off the bus (in fact for a while they did this in tune with the tides). A more aggressive pullup fixed the problem, but the harder PUR jacket cables deployed beside them did not exhibit the problem.
