While on safety stops in the past I've thought about how "best" to protect all the glass surfaces while entering/ exiting the water.
The perfectly fitting branded covers and cases for multiple wet diopters are SUPER expensive, and in my past experience, most often they fall out of fingers to the bottom of the ocean.
One thought was custom covers made out of neoprene with bungie/elastic to hold in place.
I'd like to get covers made for:
- currently unprotected Nauticam 87macro port with dual flip
- MFO-3 on one arm of a dual flip - both front and back of lens
- SMC-1 on other arm of the dual flip - again both front and back of lens
- EMWL (thinking "sock-like")

I'm fortunate that a friend and fellow diver gifted me a custom made neoprene cover for my WA 13mmRS lens - but I personally don't have "a guy in Thailand" to make any other covers.

Anyone have any suggested solutions (premade?) or recommendations on what to tell a local tailor or where to find salt water proof supplies other than recycled wetsuits?

I always keep my lenses covered entering and exiting. My WWL hard cover is drilled for a piece of cave line and bolt snap. The cover is always attached to the lens safety line or clipped off to my scooter ring when in use. My CMC lenses and dome port have neoprene covers which likewise have a small bolt snap for me to clip them off to the camera when on the lens or to my scooter ring in use.

I have a significant divot in my Sea&Sea 12mm from a shore exit because I couldn't get the neoprene "bikini" cover on. I've been trying to figure out a better design since.

I believe Dave Hicks has 3D printed designs in TPU.
