HAPPY TRAVELS UNDER THE WAVES!

The Recommended Way To Avoid Leaks And Fogging

1.Loosen your mask strap.
That's right, loosen it up. Having your mask strap too tight forces the skirt to splay out and can actually cause leaks. Many pro level divers wear their mask relatively loose, as the pressure underwater will keep it firmly in place.Unfortunately for those with facial hair, leaks are going to be more of an issue than those who are clean shaven, but that's just the cost of lookin' good!

2.Quick drop of regular dish soap.
A foggy mask can actually be dangerous as it takes more time to clear and can really obstruct your vision, making it easy to lose your dive buddy or lose track of your depth level as you fiddle with it trying to clear and clean it. Not fun. The most common ways divers keep their mask from fogging up is a quick drop of regular dish soap on each lens before each dive. Spread it around and then give it a quick rinse before descending and you should be good to go.

3.Anti fog sprays.
We met quite a few divers that carry quick spit anti fog sprays in their dive bag, it tends to be fairly cheap and the small bottle is easy to bring with you when you travel.

Quick Tip: Scuba Mask Cleaning And Care

1.Thoroughly rinse it everytime.
Almost every diver knows to rinse their gear after every dive, especially those diving in seawater. Your dive mask is no exception, so be sure to thoroughly rinse it EVERYTIME! If you treat it well it should last you many enjoyable adventures underwater. 30 seconds of rinsing can help it stay in top shape for years to come.

2.Protect it when you don't use it.
Always leave it in an open air space to dry, or it will quickly start to stink. Finally, avoid leaving your mask out in the sun, this can damage the plastic and silicone over time, leading to fading, warping or cracking of the skirt. Just let it dry and then toss it back in your dive bag!
