Must have pinched the oring when I closed the housing last night and hence my Sea & Sea housing flooded and ruined Canon 500d and Canon 60mm macro lens. Is there any way to repair lens?
Any hope of repair for a Canon 60mm lense?

Probably not. It's a matter for insurance if you have any. Water and lenses dont mix, if it's not outright corrosion, you're likely to get fungus or something else inside the elements.

We flooded a Tokina 12-24mm a few years back. Rinsed it in fresh water at the time then sent it away for repair when we got back. It cost about £200 to repair and thankfully the insurance paid out. It worked fine afterwards but it was pretty much a total rebuild apart from the glass.
All depends on the cost of a new lens compared to repair as to whether you end up with a paperweight or not. The camera at the time went in the bin as it was beyond economical repair.
