One of the less mentioned situations is when ppl use sunprotection lotions or have just a very oily face that gets washed off and them deposited on the inside of the mask and cause it to fog up.

Growing up and Snorkeling in Lake Erie I was told to use seaweed. Not sure if it's name but plentiful on rock or structures near it just above the surface Its deep green a very soft fine. Great to wad up and chuck at someone. It sticks very well ;)

Somebody else mentioned seaweed which I've never heard of before. I need to try out my local varieties...

Baby shampoo workouts best for me for years. Most important is do it right before a dive and put it on. I see too many divers who defor the mask 20min before and wear it on the neck. And have a foggy situation 5min down the dive

Once I was told by an equipment seller to put it into the dishwasher.

Please address how to compensate for those who have a mustache. Is there any thing short of shaving your upper lip to get a good seal?

I dive with a full beard, for me a lot comes down to the mask fitment, I try to keep my upper lip shorter 7 to 10mm. Was on a live aboard in the GBR, and forgot my razor ended up using Vaseline (or silicone grease should work) around my mask line, but I tend to try to keep it tidy when I can. Read somewhere that shaving 2mm under your nose might do the trick as well.

I tend to use some beard balm to help the seal across the top lip. That and a mask that fits very well.

Have heard that baby shampoo isn’t safe for reefs. Is that true or just defog manufacture FUD?

@ScubaDiverMagazine 8 ай бұрын

There is some truth in there. But because we're diluting a few drops and only using a spray of that each time, there's only a tiny amount that ends up in the ocean, that further dilutes it. Compared to what you use in a shower that ends up in the ocean or sunscreen it's a tiny amount. It is important that we limit what ends up in the ocean and there are some reef-safe defogs out there.

In California it's common to use a torn off piece of kelp rubbed on the inside of the lens - works well even after you're in the water. Defog-film reminded me of some glue-in bifocal lenses I used before I got prescription lenses. Without a good mask, diving is kinda pointless...

Interesting, I've never heard of the kelp technique. I'll have to harvest some here and see if the local variety works
