Lens Repair?

[segundo3000gt]

I borrowed a camera from a friend for my trip down to Roatan and the lens on the casing got scratched on the last day. I put the camera in the camera dunk tank on the boat after the second dive of the day as we headed to a picnic held off site by our resort. We ended up taking a bus back instead of heading on the third dive. I forgot to put the lens cap on and apparently the water was rough and the strobe arm of another camera kept bumping against the lens. I've attached a picture of what it looks like. Anyone have any tricks of how to fix the lens? It appears to be part of the Ikelite casing but my hope had been that I could just take the lens off and replace it. Any help would be appreciated.

Give Ikelite a call or email them the photo and ask for a replacement. They should be able to set you up quickly so you can return it to your friend in good time.
