Sevendayshop used to do them. A proper size rather than the silly little ones that get with shoes etc. That said, if you only have a small housing they may be a little big but they are ideal to SLR/DSLR housings.

Sadly, my housing (Olympus PT-016)only has a space big enough for ones the size of a stick of chewing gum. I get them from Cameras Underwater.

I never bother using them and as long as I donīt leave the camera in its housing in the sun it is fine.

We use them in the med but still got steamed up so now we blow a little air from a cylinder in to the housing (dry air no steam) this works fine

To stop the housing steaming up, I always keep mine out of the sun, usually in the mask bucket, or wrapped in a towel in a safe corner.

While on holiday, we also realized we forgot the moisture munchers. We came up with an alternative, which worked like a charm. Money! roll up/fold a note and stick it in the housing. Just make sure it doesn't get caught in the O-Ring.
