I just don't log dives
Does anyone knows a better adhesive than the one in the kit? The lenses come off only after a few dives, even if I follow the instructions diligently. Other than that they do the job. I was thinking of clear gorilla glue but just not sure will work under water. thanks!

I’ve used clear silicone sealer, like bathtub caulking stuff. It is nearly impossible to remove once it fully cured so make sure to get it where you want it and leave it alone for a few days.
 
Did you try the glue on a scrap piece of glass to see if it is really clear on glass? If you have 2 scrap pieces of glass, try to glue each together to see how clear it is. After wards place it in a bucket of water
 
I also use clear silicone, but I just put it around the perimeter. I apply it with a toothpick. I've been using Dive Optx for at least 15 years and they work great as long as I silicone the perimeters.
 
Great - I ordered a bunch of microscope glass to do testing samples with different glues/silicones.
