I use rechargeable desiccant canisters. I open the camera's doors and seal the camera and a canister in ziploc bag. It doesn't take too long for the desiccant to do its job. In 30 minutes a freshly charged canister will dramatically decrease moisture content of the air. I normally prep the camera the night before and leave the camera in the bag overnight. I close the doors before opening the bag. Dew point can be under 10° F, which means it's immune to fogging in water. I've done this for years with my TG-3 and the lens has never fogged. I've only replaced the seals once, but it probably wasn't necessary. It's been on over 200 ocean dives and has never leaked a drop. I do methodology clean and inspect the camera after each dive.

Is there a specific rechargeable desiccant that you recommend?
