LongerDivesFoggyMask

[Dominick Gheesling]

I have been using baby shampoo as defog for quite some time and it has worked flawlessly.

Recently, I purchased set of prescription bifocal lenses. I've noticed that near the 00:90 minute mark my mask is starting to fog. Dives are extending out to 2+ hours and I am spending much of the return trip clearing the fog from my mask.

I have already cleaned the lenses multiple times with toothpaste.

Looking for a suggestion for a new Defog solution that will hold up on longer dives.



Thanks!

Have you burned the inside of the mask? Use a lighter and run it inside of the mask. You will actually see a white film appear and then dissipate off. Then clean with toothpaste and use ur defog. The stuff burning off is a solution they use in the mask production. I had a mask that was a couple years old that I sent in to get readers installed. The reader part kept fogging (I had burnt the rest of the lens years earlier). Did the burn trick and cleaned with toothpaste and never an issue since.

I'm going to contact the company before I put a lighter to these lenses.

I'll let you know if it works.

Was it an old mask lenses were added to or an all new mask? Youre not really heating it for long so it shouldnt cause damage. The adhesives they use are pretty heat resistant.
They will probably tell you not to to cover their asses. Once I started doing the burn trick I?ve never had a foggine issue since. But i get not wanting to f up some prescription lenses.

New bifocal lenses from prescription dive mask.

If anyone else has experience with these lenses let me know.

Thanks

Contact the people who did your lenses, they have a lot of experience with their product and great with customer service. In the mean time, 89 minutes dives.

Most of the newer masks say do not use toothpaste. It ruins the mask.

And what do they say to use to remove the releasing agents?

Put some defog in and rub. And rub and rub. May have to do it several times. And rub hard.

I did contact them once to ask about toothpaste and they said that it is fine to use toothpaste on their lenses
