Shaving cream can help it stop fogging I think just like if your mirror fogs up in the shower you put shaving cream on it before you get in the shower.

I got one of these ( Seabeast AF90) due to your recommendation, and I absolutely love it. It fit's well....5 people have borrowed it, and it fits without leaking. It never mist or fogs. I have read about not using these masks for extended periods, and I suppose I can see how people could feel so relaxed snorkelling in it, they may spend very long times snorkelling, hence the problems.

[@GivesAMinute]

[@alvshill]

I’m on holiday in Mexico and, having snorkeled in the sea for the first time and talked to another vacationer who raves about a full face mask he bought cheaply on eBay, I had to do my own research. I’m now appropriately cautious and leaning more towards a good traditional snorkel set for now at least. I’ve learned so much from watching your channel Mr GivesAMinute, but having learned what I needed to I’ve watched so many of your other videos not only because they are informative but because you have such an entertaining style and the videos themselves are very well produced. Well done to you. Subscribed! Ps: I love the constructive and objective way in which you dealt with what was a somewhat acerbic comment. Some other youtubers get too emotionally caught up in it all.

[@GivesAMinute]

[@dimaxplayer9592]

Lokra was rude to him and judging him when he dosent even know him and Lokra blames everyone and say there wrong

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Moisture evaporating from your eyes will always cause fogging on the mask, even if you eliminate the primary source of moisture which causes fog (from mouth and nose). Even with an anti-fog coating on the lens (probably similar to that used in my motorcycle helmet), there may always be some small amount of fogging in any diving mask. I still use and old barrel shaped mask and spit in the mask lens which has been working fairly well for over 30 years now. Old School. It's not foolproof against fog but it diminished it enough to be practical. Thanks for the Great video!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Darivs :) I appreciate you jumping in here with this advice! And cheers for the nice words!

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Your video got me interested in these new snorkeling masks, and I am not looking to buy one that works well. One with both a rubber nose for equalization AND an anti-fog coating would be ideal. The old round, barrel shaped mask from the days of Cousteau served me well. Because it encompassed my nose, I would leave a small amount of water in the bottom of it. When my mask fogged, I could tip my head forward and let that water wash the lens free of fog. You can't do that with a sport mask that has a nose piece, and I didn't miss the lack of peripheral vision.

[@GivesAMinute]

I really love how the tech has constantly evolved and new products are coming to market. Of course there are teething issues with everything, but if you can adapt and make things work for your needs and everything moves forward we are heading in the right direction I feel :)

[@DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I'm shopping for a mask, but the reviews never rarely compare features between masks: Anti-fog coating on lens, use of silicone instead of plastic/rubber for comfort/longevity, seal leaks potential, vision distortion, lens quality of material (polycarbonate vs plastic), does the snorkel float get stuck or leak by, range of peripheral vision, range of vision up/down, ability to expel water out the chin valve, etc. I plan on working this mask hard with dives up to 7m down, and though I never have an issue with ear equalization using jaw muscles, a rubber nose piece for forced equalization may be a desirable option if the rest of the mask actually works well. It would be nice to see chart comparing all these features. Price is low priority. It has to WORK.

i think you have to put the mask in water before use, to keep the glass temperature of the water, only then is it put on its head. I have not tested, but you can try.

[@basilandrea6840]

What is the mechanism that stop water enter the mask when you dive inside why water don't enter from the breathing pipe

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Basil, all of these masks have a version of a ball which floats to the top of the tube blocking the entrance from any more water flowing in. It works really well!

[@waxitron9181]

Thanks for the review @GivesAMinute I have been looking around for a snorkel mask that is worth the cash, and you have convinced me on the AF90.

[@GivesAMinute]

Nice one man! I'm glad I could be of help to you making that decision :)

[@w7n424]

That K2 masked pissed me off because all the bubbles got in face when breathing out covering my view and I liked the lock water system under water but u hat to unlock after...

[@GivesAMinute]

That only happens when you are not moving forward as you swim. It's honestly not a huge issue (but I can see that it's somewhat frustrating).

[@_logan_mcbride_3556]

I think I know what's wrong I think that you have to put a lighter to the area that's fogging like you would with any other snorkel mask and you have to burn something off of it

[@GivesAMinute]

I've heard this said about some masks for sure. Cheers #_# 1

[@radbug]

what these face masks need is to separate the mouth and nose, and allow the nose area to vent to water. This way you can avoid co2 buildup by breathing in with mouth, out with nose

[@GivesAMinute]

Yep, that's what some of the newest masks are doing :) So rad!!

Nicely done, an intelligent and thorough response to Lokra! I love the fact that you investigated his suggestions one at a time, in case there was a step that you'd missed. Sometimes we make mistakes, but not in this instance! Intelligent people are filled with doubts, only the truly stupid are supremely confident..

[@GivesAMinute]

Thank you very much buddy! Unfortunately Lokra never once popped back in to let me know his/her thoughts!

[@scottkelly6088]

Do remember that fogging has to do with water temperature. Lokra could be using it in the middle of a desert puddle while you are using it for real fun

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah that is true! Can't forget that :) I wonder if Lokra fell into that puddle never to be seen again tho?

[@scottkelly6088]

lol no kidding

[@quoteunquote230]

I've had zero fog for two seasons with my Decthlon/Subea mask, then last September, fog almost constantly. Why? Bad weather, air humidity was 90+% most days. When the air going in is saturated the fog can not go away.

[@GivesAMinute]

Interesting, I wonder how that affects those people using and living in places with maximum humidity.

[@tobyarnst6341]

Aren't you ment to spit in it and wipe your spit around or something like that cause that's what I do but I dont have the full face mask only have the one that covers your eyes and nose but I just use the spit trick and it seems to work for me

[@GivesAMinute]

There's plenty of "home methods" out there. I don't know how successful they are all tho.

[@tobyarnst6341]

@@GivesAMinute yeah I went snorkeling today and the spit worked but yeah I think there's heaps of things you can do

[@GivesAMinute]

I've tried a bunch of different ideas, all with varying levels of success.

[@robbroda1913]

There is a thin chemical layer on the glass from the manufacturing process. If it is tempered glass you can take a lighter and hold it just above the glass on the side of the glass pressed against your face (ensuring not to burn the skirt, so go in short bursts) you will immediately see the layer come off, take a microfiber cloth and scrub hard to get excess residue off from edge of skirt, let the glass cool down and blow into it, if there is fog repeat process. If you have a polycarbon mask or anything other than tempered glass you need to use toothpaste (small amount) and scrub it on the inside of the mask the toothpaste acts as a tiny micro abrasion and then rinse and blow in mask and repeat, note you will have to repeat this process many times the tempered glass is usually once or twice but the toothpaste may take a while.

[@GivesAMinute]

This is the method I've been told to use also. I encourage everyone to try it. Thanks Rob.

[@captainf3ared802]

only thing that i can think of for why it fogs. is that your body temp is much warmer that the water your in. but i just free dive for fun im no expert. just a guess

[@GivesAMinute]

It could be that for sure Captain. That would explain it I guess.

[@Lee-70ish]

Orsen full face mask does not fog and has soft nose cover so you can equalise ear pressure however it's not a cheap mask average is around £99 but at the time of posting Amazon does them for a bargain £48.

[@Grimreapervlogs]

Hi mate i purchased one of these so when fully submerged underwater am i ment to breath out or breath in i tested it at home in the spa and i fully submerged and breathed in and it instantly felt like i was chocking so thoughy id send u msg and ask u how u use it diving down under water or what i was doing wrong. Hope u can answer my question please

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Mike, when you are submerged underwater you are not meant to breathe in or out. A lot of people are confused by this, but none of the full faced snorkel masks on the market are designed to enable you to breathe underwater. You need SCUBA gear to do that. These masks simply provide a better viewing experience under water.

[@Grimreapervlogs]

@@GivesAMinute thanks for the super fast reply mate. Ohh got u so basically like in your videos if u go underwater u are ment to just hold your breath and say only be dive under for maybe a really quick amount of time i seen in your video that u dive under with it on and swim. So u just are holding your breath while underwater and not breathing in or out is that correct mate. Ive watched afew videos and ppl are diving under with full face masks on and u see bubbles coming out of the bit that the air comes through is that because they are breathing out while under with it on. Sorry for the silly question

[@GivesAMinute]

Yeah that's correct man, you just hold your breath as you dive. I actually exhale as I dive (to reduce buoyancy) and as I am only going under a few meters at max there are no issues. The air bubbles you see are most likely the trapped air inside the mask escaping. :)

[@Grimreapervlogs]

@@GivesAMinute yeah i dont want to dive very deep at all with it just maybe go under a meter or 2 at most for a real short time period so was very curious to know how u do that. I havent had a chance to test it properly yet and when i did test it on the spa and went under and breathed in that feeling of chocking soon made me come back up so quick hahah. Im going to thailand next month and i am planing on taking it with me to try out on some island tours. So if i do dive under are u saying i should take a big breath before diving under then once im fully sumberged i should exhale out a little bit sorry for the confusion so this wouldnt causd that ball that seals it to prevent any water getting in exhaling wont cause that to break that seal im such a noob with this so all the help u give me is very appreciated mate

[@GivesAMinute]

Thats somewhat correct: the only time the ball will seal in the top is when you go underwater. It's to even you breathing in that will cause it, it's the floating of the ball to the top of the snorkel which cause it to lock. If you breathe in at that point the mask will contract onto your face. You do not want to breathe in while underwater wearing these masks for that exact reason. Have fun in Thailand man!!

I asked this question directly to Wildhorn Outfitters before making this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3nJYXyNqMaeqrc and the consensus was that a short amount of stubble will not make a difference but a full blown beard will compromise the seal. Have fun in Costa Rica mate!! Jealous!!

[@jackospearo]

hey GivesAMinute use a match and burn the lens until they go black then wipe it and spit on it then wipe it again then it shouldn't for (ONLY DO THIS IF IT IE TEMPERED GLASS)

[@GivesAMinute]

I gave the Seabeast Pro N1 away and have kept the AF90 as that one doesn't fog up, so there's no need for the burn method Jack :)

[@ascarigs]

with masks in general they all come with a coating from the manufacture to prevent damage to the lens, this is what causes the fogging, you must remove this by either scrubbing with tooth paste or burning it of with a mini blow torch. this then should not fog up as long as you spit in it before swimming.

[@GivesAMinute]

...or you can grab this mask and have no fog from the getgo :)

This is very true Philip. Thanks for being the voice of reason mate!! :)

[@chrisbarbz9238]

That anti-fog coating can wash off.. But they don't come off easily. Just make sure nothing touches the inside of the glass especially when wet and it won't come off.. I had to learn this the hard way before. I didn't know those anti-fog coating could come off nor did I ever use anti-fog coated goggles, so I touched the inside of the goggles. It was like when you're removing sticker residue. You can try buffing toothpaste on a mask without anti-fog coating..

I'm looking into the Amazon link Trixie... thanks for bringing it to my attention. And yes, absolutely!! Taking a break even 15 minutes is highly recommended to relieve any of the carbon dioxide build up issues! Great thinking!! :)

[@MuiTube]

Some amazing underwater footage! That little stingray was awesome! I might need one of these marks when I’m in Hawaii in a couple of months

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks man! Well my recommendation is definitely the AF90 from Seabeast, just be careful with it tho as you can hyperventilate if you use it for too long in the once go.

[@GioMusicz]

Great video man really helps with getting the right masks. Keep up the good work man! :)

[@GivesAMinute]

Thank you very much Donavan!

[@gminoza]

Love the great vibe... Thanks for great the review!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much Gerv :) Appreciate it!

[@ShootingMOA]

Hi Benon. I have been looking into snorkeling gear after my wife draggged me into the water on our Fiji trip this year. This was a big step for me because Im disabled "quadriplegic" who cant swing to save my life. But hell I loved it and want to do it again. Even if I almost drank the ocean and float head down and legs up. Other than that issue I find it hard to get a mask to fit because I have a big nose. Do you have any recommendations for a mask for people with big noses? Or a way to keep upright? Thanks for taking the time and love the vids. Cheers Jas

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Jas. That's an interesting question. I feel like most of the full face masks are suitable for people with larger noses. I for one have a massive head and all the masks I have reviewed have fit quite well (not saying a large head equals a large nose, but you follow what I'm getting at!) As for keeping upright I guess being a quadriplegic you would have someone with you while snorkelling? If so, I would suggest some floatation device that you can wear while they watch. You can move the angle and position of the devices depending on how much "rotation" you are getting in the water? I feel like with a mate supervising you should be good to go? Incidentally, it's rad to see someone like yourself who has extra struggles in life making the most of it and getting into the water mate!! I'm truly appreciative of you stopping by the channel and I hope others who may be thinking of trying snorkelling for the first time can be inspired by you. Thank you!!

[@jhyelvington]

Have you tested the Deep Blue Gear mask as it’s supposed to be better for the Co2 factor and the snorkel is the same as the AF model in this video

[@GivesAMinute]

I have indeed. It's called the Vue Tech Full Face Snorkel Mask and it's GREAT!!!

[@jhyelvington]

GivesAMinute how would you compare it to this one as the cue tech is what I’m leaning towards

[@jhyelvington]

Do you find the snap on or the folding snorkel to be better

[@javieralvarez2792]

You are a cool youtuber :) i liked how you actually dealt with lokra with lokra in a nice way even tough he was a jerk! props!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Javier :) Lokra had a voice and expressed his concerns, it's a shame he has now ran away after I have retaliated.

[@battleborn9047]

I'm not looking for a mask right now but I love how thorough you review the products. Surely appreciate the time you really put into it. Even more, I thought it was awesome how you handled the jackass (Lokra). You were very professional and handled it a lot better then how I would have hahaha... You got me to subscribed. Great job Bud!!!

[@GivesAMinute]

Awwww thanks very much Battleborn Volleyball :) When it does come time for you to purchase I hope my reviews can assist you in making the best purchase decision. And yeah, thanks for the nice words re: Lokra. That guy has never come back btw!!

[@logiic8835]

My first time watching you, I love it!!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so very much! I'm happy you are enjoying the content :)

[@TRIP730]

Based as hell dude, love the great community interaction you’ve got going on!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks man! Appreciate you stopping by with your thoughts :)

[@charlesclements4350]

Did any one ever say how to equalize the ear drums while wearing that thing?

[@GivesAMinute]

Yes, there is a technique some people can perform which works really well. I cannot do it tho.

[@charlesclements4350]

Are you talking about the one that free divers use? If so then I have heard of that one. I cannot do it either.

[@GivesAMinute]

Nah, I think they use the pinch method?

[@charlesclements4350]

Oh, O.K.

[@ArticruciA]

What's that classical guitar song? I feel like I've heard it before..

[@GivesAMinute]

The song in this video is from Paul Walsh, link is in the description of the video :)

[@stayseyliuu6293]

Hi can you still breathe when you're freedive with the snorkel under the water?

[@GivesAMinute]

No, you cannot breathe underwater with this mask.

[@TheMoldydog]

I always use anti-fog spray from Akona before my scuba dives. with it there is not a chance of any fogging and terrible fogging without.

[@GivesAMinute]

I've just been informed of a similar product called Dr. Film. Keen to see how it works!

[@kimlengtay49]

it would be nice if there is prescription lens mask for this.

[@GivesAMinute]

I doubt that would be possible to miniature Kim, but it's a nice thought!

[@wellardsmith3629]

How can I buy the AF90 here in England. The links you suggest don’t seem to want to sell to us here.... 🤔

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Wellard. Sorry to say man, I don't think they are selling them in the UK :(

[@snowynight7724]

Hey wellard, Seabeast sells to UK too, link here www.myseabeast.com/products/seabeast-af90/

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks for helping here Sophie :) Appreciate it!

[@snowynight7724]

No problem :)

[@Just-Ross]

I've never had an Ocean Reef Aria fog up either, so I'm afraid this isn't the ONLY mask that doesn't fog. I'd argue that the Aria is a much better build quality also.

[@GivesAMinute]

Good to know R ichard. Cheers for the tip mate :)

[@areacode777]

Hi GivesAMinute, thanks for uploading these videos. They are helpful. I am getting into snorkeling and I wanted to ask your expert opinion. Do you prefer the powerbreather over a face mask? Or is there another product that you would recommend? I have also read that face snorkel masks are dangerous, and might be best to use for 30min max. I love snorkeling and I think 30min just seems so short. Look forward to your reply, T

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks very much areacode777 :) Glad that my videos are helpful to you :) My thoughts are absolutely I prefer the AMEO Powerbreather as a more suitable product for snorkelling, but your experience may differ. My suggestion is to try before you buy and then go for it!

[@Bt26x]

Very cool, entertaining & informative video. I stumbled onto it watching videos about the soccer team trapped in the cave in Thailand. I haven’t even seen these yet & I love snorkeling. Always have. I’ll definitely check out the AF90! Cheers from Georgia, USA.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Bt 26x. Yeah I'm watching the Thailand cave rescue closely too. Such a sad thing to have happened and it looks like such a complex rescue mission. I also noted they are using full faced masks in the rescue, I wonder which ones they are using? Thanks for the nice words mate, I put a lot of effort into my channel, it's nice when a new Giver stumbles upon it and appreciates it! Thank you!

[@Bt26x]

GivesAMinute you’re welcome my friend! I understand the effort & it’s a job well done. Yeah that is a crazy situation. Literally the last few months I’ve been on a extreme caving kick on KZbin. I’m really claustrophobic in those kind of situations so it draws me to those kind of videos even more for some weird reason haha. So seeing this happen, I have some knowledge of at least how narrow in tight some of those passages can be because of watching so many people online and do it for sport! So I can only imagine how tight & sketchy a lot of the passes are. I’m sure alot of those channels that I follow are getting a big push right now of viewers & subs! I just s subbed & I’ll check out what else you review too!

[@GivesAMinute]

I'm the same, a little claustrophobic in small areas, can't imagine how it is would be underwater as well as in tight places!! Hectic!!! Thanks for the support man, appreciate have you here.

[@alleant1]

Nice test man I thought that the fogging was stopped by the air flow...cause the treatment will clean up in time... Anyways these masks are the best thing so far for me. Keep it up

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks so much alleant1, glad this could have been a help to you! Enjoy your mask mate!

[@inaj1986]

I'm thinking of buying this... with the breathing do you breath out through your nose or through your mouth? Thanks :)

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Ina, you can breathe out your mouth or your nose, whichever you choose :)

[@inaj1986]

Great! Thank you!! I've never snorkelled before... would you recommend me to use this or the normal snorkel (non-full face ones)?

[@GivesAMinute]

If you've never snorkelled before I would advise a regular mask first up, get comfortable in the water, then with correct supervision move onto a full face mask.

[@inaj1986]

Thanks Benon! I'll go with a regular mask then... any recommendations for a reasonably priced one? I am going to Hawaii and will go snorkelling there... I'm not sure about renting coz not sure how clean it is which is why I want to buy one...but there' so many I'm not sure which to get.

[@GivesAMinute]

My pleasure Ina! So, if you have kids you may be interested in this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZiciWuhjrZsotk

[@davidbyron4339]

Thanks for the video! I'll be checking this one out.

[@GivesAMinute]

Cheers David :) Appreciate it!

[@funfishingbarbados1699]

use squeezy and wash it out before use will help stop fog

[@GivesAMinute]

Nope. Doesn't work Ryan.

[@jacyongchoonkeat1037]

Hey there really love your video . I have been looking info about this as planning to buy one as well . Can i know if you go underwater , are you still able to breath normally? And usually it last for how long?? And about the anti fog liquid , does it wipe off if you wash it or it has a time period that u need to sent it back to the factory for maintainence ?? Thank you

[@GivesAMinute]

Hi Jacky, glad my video was of help to you! To answer your question, no you cannot breath underwater with this mask. I cannot say for sure with the anti fog liquid as I have not used the mask again since making this video.

[@jacyongchoonkeat1037]

GivesAMinute thanks for your info .do you have any video on HEAD and Ocean Reef arena ffsm ? Does it have problem of fogging as well ??

[@GivesAMinute]

Unfortunately I have not tried that mask Jacky so I cannot really say :(

[@jacyongchoonkeat1037]

GivesAMinute is alright .thank you .i would gather more info 1st before i purchase one .as the accumulation of co2 is one of the main issue that concern me now .those 2 brand products seems to have better solution and quality control.thanks Waiting for more video from u .have a good day

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks again :) The thing is, all these masks suffer from co2 build up - it's inherit in their design - the key thing to remember when using them is to always have someone supervise you. I did have a bad experience with lose of breath and fatigue while using the Seaview 180: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0 but I wouldn't say this is specific to that particular mask, rather a failure of all these designs...

[@demonz7777]

You should visit the Philippines and snorkel there it is flawlessly amazing.

[@GivesAMinute]

It's definitely a place I would love to snorkel at!! Where in the Philippines do you recommend?

[@demonz7777]

The Philippine sea, I snorkeled there on March it is amazing.

[@GivesAMinute]

@@demonz7777 I'll keep that in mind mate!

[@jeremyarnold629]

Nice review of the af90 thanks.

[@GivesAMinute]

Cheers Jeremy :)

[@wildthotz]

Great to find you and your wonderful reviews! Living in Hawaii now, and have been looking at the full face masks (at my local Costco, not this brand), but haven't tried them yet. The "Fog Free" subject caught me, and its good to know about the issues with these masks. Wondering if the clarity has continued with use, if you've had time to find out yet. Not being able to pressurize is a likely show stopper for me, with the carbon dioxide issue close on its heels. I just love to dive down frequently and far, and stay out a long time when I finally make it to the water. Will be watching the rest of your videos as soon as time permits. Thanks SO much!

[@GivesAMinute]

So nice to read such a lovely comment Wild!! I really appreciate you making such a positive comment for me. Thank you!! As for the fog free thing, I have not used the mask again yet, but there will be opportunities in Fiji coming up so I will report on it for you sometime in the future. Thanks again for the lovely words, glad I could be of help to you!!

[@BF3SlingShoT]

So the earplugs. like what if u use them as nose plugs. Will you be able to equalise then ?

[@GivesAMinute]

I tried that here Arctic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIarp3mAbN-LpM0

[@christopherhalvorson3830]

great videos. very helpful and informative! I'll be purchasing the Seabeast AF90!

[@GivesAMinute]

Awesome to hear Christopher :) Purchase link in the video description :)

[@normanwitzler9665]

Good review from a serious man! I'm interested in the airflow. The mask I have is like breathing through a tiny straw. That is OK unless I exert myself, then I suffocate. How big is fifty percent bigger? Diameter or cross-sectional area? What is your subjective opinion on the ability to breath freely on this model as compared to the other ones?

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Norman :) Which mask do you have? I have found there to be no real issues with airflow on this one, no more or less than the other masks I have tried. To me, they all suffer the same in that regard - as soon as you start to exert yourself you run the real risk of hyper ventilating (as you pointed out).

[@normanwitzler9665]

I have a NuAge Easy Breathe model. It isn't easy to breathe if you are a large person who decides to swim much faster than a jellyfish. I mostly use it to repair wet lights in swimming pools. It does a good job of not fogging which is important for that kind of work.

[@GivesAMinute]

That's a really good use case scenario for this type of mask Norman! You don't need to go too deep and you need clear, 180° vision! Nice one mate :)

[@fgnills2765]

Great review man. Love them

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks you buddy :)

[@scrippslarry]

You are funny. Very patient with your commenter friend Lokra. His suggestions were appropriate though somewhat tersely phrased. Good info! Thanks!

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks mate :) Yeah his tone and his demanding nature were concerning. Thanks for watching mate :)

[@wDeathw]

Can it be use under water and Not get any water inside it?

[@GivesAMinute]

Yes, you do not get water inside when you go underwater in this mask knight knives.

[@rayulkim]

you rock my man, thank you for entertaining and informative video.

[@GivesAMinute]

Thanks Eric :) Glad you got some benefit from the video :)
