Very good information we’re going vacation decide to buy my own instead of renting,i just bought a mask for snorkeling and like what you said not to use flame after fitting it she said I will clean the mask I notice it’s warm and that burnt smell well I hope it didn’t damage the mask thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video! I just bought some masks for myself and my family here in Amsterdam, and I knew what to ask for thanks to your videos! The sales guy wouldn’t explain anything or suggest any products I might need. He just kept asking “do you need anything else?” 🤦‍♀️ I had to ask for defog stuff and cloth strap covers for those of us with hair. 😅 The only annoying thing is he didn’t even sell any mask cleaning stuff. 🤯 But at least I knew that was a thing, thanks to your videos!

Thank you for all the useful information!

Fire and/or kitchen abrasive are the only things that work...not the store products.

[@dawncorrell6967]

Thanks! So helpful. Maybe you could offer the option for you to clean the film off before you send the masks for an additional fee so people will be confident that the film is gone 🙂

[@LeviathanScuba]

That is a great idea. Thanks for the Tip.

i would Never burn the glass, especially where my mask cost me £70 $80's toothpaste for me everytime and it works a treat

[@alanstruble4796]

So after all this scrubbing and rinsing, is there a test before you go on that expensive dive trip that will assure you that the mask is properly cleaned?

[@goodytwoboosg917]

Breath on it like a mirror and see if any fog stains show up

[@fong9615]

Hi thanks for your content! One thing about UV tinted mask like Tusa paragon mask. Do you have any idea on using the seabuff on those? Im afraid I will ruin the uv coating on expensive mask even before diving it. Thanks!

[@adrnik19]

Good question, I just bought the oceanic shadow 50 years special edition goggles and I don't want to ruin them lol

[@LeviathanScuba]

So, a two part reply. One. The coated lenses of many manufactures don't have the initial film left on them from the manufacturing process. They had to take it off to add the tint or film, etc. Second there are mask cleaners that are still ok for the sea that take oils off the lens from sweat, snot, makeup, sun block, suntan lotion, etc. for your regular cleaning between dives. Thanks for watching more to come soon. Freddy

Also, I might add that the Shadow fits very few people properly. I have one and love it but it fits me well. Check out our video on how a mask should fit. good luck. Freddy

How can I remove water stains from my diving mask?

[@LeviathanScuba]

Rubbing alcohol and let it sit for a bit. Wash with dish soap as well. Then re-scrub with a mask scrub product. If you use a mask anti fog product, you wont get water stains anymore because it cannot actually touch the glass. Mask antifog leaves a thin layer of silicone on the glass so water spots cannot adhere. Thanks for watching. More to come soon. Freddy

[@rogeryarde2320]

@@LeviathanScuba thanks for the info on removing water stains from my diving mask ,will try and see how it works .

[@charliewalsh9247]

What is the product that you used to prep the mask ?

[@coralkeyscuba]

Mask Scrub by Jaws or Buff by Gear Aid. There are many though to choose from. Just make sure it is meant for a snorkel or scuba mask. Silicone safe. Thanks for watching. Freddy

[@Jonjenkins4400]

Can you clean your mask and snorkel with a little beach in the water to kill germs. ? How do you kill the germs ! The mouth piece definitely gets germs ?

[@LeviathanScuba]

Not bleach my friend as it degrades the silicone. Use a product like listerine or a good mouthwash. Hope it helps. Thanks for watching. Freddy

just remember, overkill is underrated. 😋

He points out minor problems with toothpaste but doesn’t establish how purpose-made products are any better.
