Back in the day (the 00's, ha ha) I learned that it was important to smear a bit of toothpaste on a NEW mask to remove the film that is there from manufacturing process. After that first application, there was no reason to use toothpaste, but instead use spit, or a tiny bit of baby shampoo before each dive.
Here in Indo, I see everyone smearing toothpaste on their masks before each dive to keep it from fogging. I guess it does, since they continue to use it, but it doesn't make sense to me.
In addition, I got a new mask, never did the toothpaste thing, and it works great with a bit of spit. OK, quite a bit of spit.
Am I missing something here?
