Mask Care: Stay Clear Out There

Your mask is your window underwater - if it fogs or leaks, the whole dive is affected. A little prep and proper care go a long way toward keeping your vision clear and your focus where it belongs. Follow these simple steps to keep your gear dialed and ready for every drop.

• Stop the fog from day one
  New masks have a factory film that may cause fogging. Clean the inside lenses with a degreasing dish soap before first use, rinse thoroughly, then apply a small drop of our anti-fog gel. Spread evenly, quick rinse, dive clear. Repeat each session.
  

• Rinse it, every time.
  Salt, sand, and sunscreen build up fast—fresh water keeps your view sharp and your seal solid.

• Hands off the inside
  Skin oils lead to fogging—keep the inside clean once prepped..

• Shade, not sun
  Let it dry out of direct sunlight. Heat can warp your skirt and cut its life short.

• Store with care
  Don’t just toss it in a bin. Store it where it won’t get crushed or scratched.

• Keep it cool
  Avoid hot cars—excess heat can compromise fit and seal.
  

• Check before you drop in
  Ensure a clean skirt and proper seal for a distraction-free dive.
