Have not used anti fog in 3 years, make sure you clean your mask good when you first buy it

I use the sea gold and love it. A little goes a long way. Also I really clean the glass every once in a while. I find the grey goop that Marine Sports Products sells is super. It is called Mask lens and slate cleaner. I think they are from Florida. Anyway it really works better than toothpaste. By cleaning and using the sea gold. I never fog up.

OK .....I know that since I said that, I will fog up next time........

I dive with an old timer and he told me to clean the lenes with toothpast and then use spit. Rub the spit around and wait about 10 seconds rinse. I tried it and it worked. as a matter of fact it works great. I do it once and it's good for 2 dives. Beats me why.
But I know this, it's free and I never run out of it. People do look at me a little funny some times though. I ask them if they want to borrow some. One guy actualy said yes. HEHEHE.
you decide.

I find that if I have the Sausage and Egg McMuffin and a couple of hashbrowns with their coffee there is no fogging up for the entire day......

Just a routine that I have fallen into when diving happens early in the morning.

Dive safe,

spit works 99% of the time for me... of course, I try to wash the mask often.

works for me. It's even better than sea gold! It's blue gunk and I always include a tube of it with every leisurepro order!

Why use anything else?

You know there's a rumor going around that all the "anti-fog" goop is, is a bottle of condensed, overpriced Scuba Instructor Spit.......

Baby shampoo. I've had a .99 cent bottle for two years and it's over half full. Works great.

I like sea drops. I find sea gold is too gooey and tends to leave a thicker film that distorts my vision; when I back off on the goo, there is fogging, for me anyway.

I don't know about Seadrops, Sea Gold or peanut butter.
I've never used any of them, but I have this special stuff I use that never fails me............. And for $4.99 I'll sell you some ;)

I just need to have a couple of beers first to get my juices running

Johnsons Baby Shampoo is the best anti-fog I have ever used. Even better than my spit. One application, if done right, can last me for an entire day of diving.

- J&J Baby Shampoo (no a$$ brand please)
- Saliva (the more breakfast in it, the better)
- McNett has this new stuff called Sea Quick (I think) that a friend of mine brought back from DEMA. I've only used it once, but it works really well. We'll see how I fell when I finish the bottle.

Also, when I get a new mask (and once a year thereafter) I scrub the inside of the lenses with baking soda toothpaste. The abrasive is pretty mild and really cleans off any build-up.

I use 1 part Johnson Baby Shampoo to 3 parts water in a spray bottle. This mixture has 3 functions...
1. Mask Defog
2. Lubrication for my drysuit seals so they are easy to slip on
3. I always have a hard time getting my gloves on when they are wet, so I spray a little in my gloves before each dive and they slip on with no problem

I heard that if you rub a fresh cut of potator slice, it would work as well... Since we are talking about vegetables now,.... why not try the onion too while you're at it?

Sea Gold. I rinse it off after it's applied and keep some water in my mask until I'm ready to put it on. It distorts my vision too if not rinsed off. I found it to be better than SeaDrops or MY spit. No comment on anyone else's spit.

easily lasts for at least two dives - but don't let it dry , rinse within a minute of applying.

#2 - J&J Baby Shampoo - works for one dive, but rinse well as I have had it irritate my eyes (not nice when you're 70 fsw)

#3 - Sea Drops - work OK

#4 - spit - doesn't last too long in salt water.
