You can still get aftermarket lenses for them (They've been around for a while because of the underwater focusing issue with the previous model)

Interesting that your Snake River housing fogs. I assume that it's inside the housing and not in the add-on lens assembly?

 

If that's the case, then maybe you should try stuffing a small bag of desiccant inside the housing along with the camera (although it's probably a very tight fit). If it's happening in the lens assembly, then you should swap out the white desiccant balls for a fresh set, or at least dry out the ones you have. GoPro also has their own Anti-Fog Insert solution.

 

The new GoPro housing will probably have fogging issues as well. Best thing to do is to put the camera in the housing in a cool and dry environment.

the Snake River lens has desiccant beads the problem lies with the 55mm lens.. the threads do let in a bit f water at times when over 60 ft of water and it's just enough to screw things up
