Preparing to go Snorkeling: A few things will help you enjoy
your new equipment.
- Clean your mask: Unless the manufacturer's directions
specifically say don't, you must clean the inside of your mask lenses with
a mild abrasive (ordinary non-gel toothpaste or Sea Buff works best)
before use, or manufacturing residue will cause it to fog up as soon as
you put it on. Put a little of your cleaner on the inside of each
lens, and rub it in well for a minute or so with your fingertips.
Rinse the mask well in fresh water. You should only have to do this
once, but if your mask is a persistent "fogger," repeat once.
- Install your strap cover: A
neoprene strap wrapper is a great
way to prevent the silicone mask strap from pulling or tangling in your
hair.
- Install your snorkel: The snorkel attaches to the left side of the
mask, with the snorkel "keeper" hooked over the mask strap, and the
snorkel on the outside of the strap.
- Defog your mask: Now your mask is clean, you'll still need to
apply defogging solution to minimize fogging during your snorkeling
excursion. Just put a
small dab or a drop or two on the inside of each lens, spread around with
your fingers, and rinse of the excess right before you get in the
water. Each application should last an hour or two of
snorkeling.
