Can this be fixed? Of course without having to send it to Canon and have a new lens installed.

Thanks,

Hi, Chris,

Welcome to the forum, and sorry for the circumstances..!

It is possible to dehydrate the camera by enclosing it in a coffee can of dry rice granules,  or dessicant gel packets, but that would not remove whatever debris was contained in the water and which may be residing on the interior surface(s) of the lens and/or sensor.

In order to truly clean the lens and sensor, the camera would need to be disassembled.

Sorry the news wasn't better, but good luck..!!
