I would give this a try:

New lense, comes with 2 for $19.99, or go to the Mako Spearfish site for the Flat one for underwater.

Be careful since the flat lense is plastic... & not glass like that article.  You'd likely mess it up good trying that remedy.

Underwater, the flat lense scratches fill with water & not as much of an issue.  I'd recommend using 2 housings - a dome port for topside & flat for uw usage.

Thanks fuzz...I'll try it out this weekend underwater and if the scratches don't jack up the picture as bad I'll go that route...

Jim, I love how you "Tower" over everyone in that second video    Like your looking down on puny mortals 

how tall are you Jim?  I am 6'3", don't know if I want the head mount or not or my videos will seem as if I am a giant.  I bought a chest mount and was surprised I was able to wear it with a life vest, jacket, insulated jacket and several shirts...........I thought for sure it would either not fit or be way too tight.

LOL!

I'm 6'3"-4"...I think running up the hill had something to do with it looking like the view was from way above? 

Fuzz was right...underwater you can't see the scratches at all!



Now I just need to get a second housing that I take better care of for above water!
 
Thanks fellas!!!!
