Masks
The inside of your mask's lenses must be defogged prior to every dive.
Defogging Your Mask
During your dive the temperature of the water causes the warm, moist air inside the mask to fog up the lens. This is easily prevented by defogging your mask before every dive.
You can defog your mask by simply spitting on the inside of the lens, rubbing the saliva around the lens, and rinsing the mask with water. Commercial defogging solutions are also available. If you use one of these, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
When masks are assembled, a silicone lubricant is sprayed onto the components to make assembly easier. If not removed, the lubricant makes defogging procedures ineffective. You can remove the lubricant by rubbing the inside of the lens with a mild abrasive such as toothpaste. After rinsing the toothpaste from the mask, it should be ready for defogging.
