I have the Fix S95 housing and the UWL-04 wide angle lens. I did few ocean dives and left the lens attached over night, the next morning it took two us to unscrew the lens from the housing. The next day we did two dives before I tried to remove the lens and it still was a pain to remove. Is there any tricks to prevent this from happening?

Thanks

Yes, do not leave the threaded pieces installed to each other. Rinse removed parts always in freshwater after each dive or day of diving at least. Also, lightly grease the threads with silicone grease. Lightly is key, too much will make a mess. Just a little bitty bit is enough.

Just as the others have said. Little grease and don't leave them attached overnight. I've never had a problem with sticking on my Fix S95 housing and UWL-04.
