What's the best GoPro Dome Port? (Hero10)

I'm trying to shoot half underwater and half above water shots with a GoPro and figured out I would probably benefit from a Dome Port.

Can anyone recommend a good one?

...Or another way to shoot half underwater/half above water shots?

I guess you could say you have these choices, in general.

-dome or flat port

-big dome or little dome

Big domes are the ones that work best.  Not sure a big dome is made for a gopro.

Here's a small tip, whatever port you are using.   The glass must be scrupulously clean and polished.  You want to dip the camera into the water, bring it up and shoot through a thin sheet of water streaming off the dome.  If any tiny particle is stuck on the dome, you get streaking that is visible in the image.    When water stream becomes uneven after a second or two, redunk and repeat.   This is a volume game.   Take a lot of shots.
