Sea Buff Dive Mask Precleaner, 1.25 Ounce

$3.49

Sea Buff Dive Mask Precleaner, 1.25 Ounce

Sea Buff™ Dive Mask Precleaner -- New diving masks must be cleaned to remove factory mould release and/or packaging residues before the first application of anti-fog products. Otherwise, the residue will substantially reduce the effectiveness of any anti-fog solution that may be applied to the lens. New masks will need to be cleaned before each dive, as factory residues continue to migrate from the mask skirt onto the lens. Older masks should be cleaned periodically to remove residues accumulated from dives. Safe and very effective for use on ordinary tempered glass lenses, but do not use on plastic vision correcting or optically coated lenses.

Also restores slates and underwater notebooks to like-new condition. Special formula will not scratch or leave residue build-up on slates.

Toothpaste is for Teeth

Don'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. For optically coated lenses, these deposits can easily be removed with an extra application of a powerful surfactant like SeaQuick defog or Johnson's® Baby Shampoo, ('No More Tears') but please don't use abrasives.

Mask Defoggers Explained

Regardless 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 SeaDrops). Both approaches work equally well but require different application methods so it's mostly a matter of personal preference.

  • A cleaning spray is the most popular approach because it's quick and easy. Generously spray the inside of the mask lens, rub and rinse completely to remove. If the lens is not 'squeeky clean' then repeat and perhaps rub a bit harder.
  • The liquid drops are a concentrated version of the spray type cleaners. If you like the concentrated drop cleaners, a convenient alternative is a travel size of Johnsons 'No More Tears' Baby Shampoo®.
  • With the gel, apply a thin even coating to the inside of the mask lens (more is not better) and lightly rinse to smooth out the coating. Do NOT completely rinse or rub away the gel, remember you want a light coating of the gel on the lens.

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.
