Droplets

Anyone have any ideas to stop water beadlets forming on a Dome Port, I've
been trying a few over/under shots and the water drops are a problem. I'm
using an Ikelite 8" dome so need to be carefull what I put on it.

Tony White told me the way to do it is lick the dome. Saliva makes the water run straight off. I've not yet tried it, but I know it works on glasses in the rain.
