Any way to cure central fogging in a wide angle wet mount lens? So far this has been a cold water issue (41-50 F).

Would storing it in a very dry environment help? Maybe warming it, then placing it in a dry environment, packed in moisture munchers?

Thoughts?
 
Moisture inside the lens sounds like a seal failure or an improperly assembled lens. Either way, it's probably best to send it to the manufacturer or a certified shop for repairs. The fix you suggested would at best only be a temporary solution.
 
I have similar problem for some time, but with the dome port mounted on wide angle wet lens

The drying before mounting dome was helpfull.
