Might be of use to some of you,  I have heard that if you have problems with condensation forming in a housing then if you have room in the housing a pack of silica gel can help.  Not earth shattering I know but a very good cheap alternative is a tampon.  (Probably won't cope with a flooded housing though ;))

Also I have heard of people putting a metal disc in polycarbonate housings to act as a attraction point for condensation rather than say the lens.

Finally always when possible aclimatise your housing in a dry environment before moving between environments.   I always leave my housing open in an air conditioned environment for a couple of hours before sealing it up in the air conditioned environment.

Apologies for those who I am teaching to suck eggs but some of this maybe useful for someone.

If nothing else it gives us a valid excuse why we as divers need to carry KY jelly and tampons. ;)
