Toothpaste is for TeethDon't use toothpaste on modern dive masks, especially those masks that have vision correction lenses or 'optical coatings' on the lenses. You will either damage the lenses, or needlessly waste toothpaste since most modern toothpaste formulations are not at all abrasive. All new dive masks do have mould release agents in the flexible skirt that during long storage will migrate to the surface of the lense and cause fogging. These deposits can easily be removed with SeaBuff or an extra application of a powerful surfactant like SeaQuick defog or Johnson's® Baby Shampoo, but please don't use abrasives. |

Mask Defoggers ExplainedRegardless of the brand or type of defog there are basically only two ways to defog your mask, either coat the lens with an inhibitor (gels like SeaGold, and of course 'spit') or make the lens very clean so fog doesn't form (surfactants like SeaQuick and baby shampoo). Both approaches work equally well but require different application methods so it's mostly a matter of personal preference.
Every once in a while it doesn't hurt to also clean the outside of the mask lens. It won't help to prevent fogging but you'll see better if the lens is clean on both sides! By the way, we are not big fans of the 'mask bucket' found on many dive boats. When everyone is rinsing their masks in the same bucket, they are sharing their bacteria and viruses with everyone else. We avoid that by rinsing our masks in seawater (works fine), fresh water from the shower hose if there is one, or even bottled water as a last resort. |
