I'll look into the desiccant tubes. A small section of folded "maxi-pad" installed in the bottom of the housing also seems to help the problem you described and offers a bit of protection for minor leaks. Keeping the camera out of the sun and in a dunk bucket completely eliminates the problem, regardless of whether it's fresh or salt water that the camera is soaking in. (I travel with a REI collapsible bucket) However, a salt water dunk means no opening the housing between dives! I also put a synthetic chamois in the bottom of the water filled bucket to cushion the bumps on the ride out and back.
