How to make your diving mask not fog - Stop scuba diving mask from fogging 

Great advice, I was just about to get rid of my diving mask( and spend $70 for a new one) because it continually fogged up when I was swimming. Put some dishing liquid on both lenses following Christian's instructions and my mask stayed crystal clear my whole swim, well done Christian!!

Apply shaving cream, rub it in and then clean very well it with a dry paper towel or cloth until there is no more cream. Works on mirrors and windshields lasting up to 2-3 weeks, should also work on scuba gear.

i have always used the spit technique and it works perfectly 😆

I'm a swimmer and I usually use water mixed with baby soap. So if it gets in your eyes, it won't burn.

It worked out really well! Thanks for all the Chanel's videos... they are all really helpful 😃👍

Worked like a charm! But make sure you only use the lighter on a tempered glass mask! 🤗

Thanks! I just bought a new mask and I’m going to go swimming on Thursday. I’m definitely gonna try this.

I've been spitting into my mask since 1971 and it still works great.

Until it gets into your eyes

youre vids are always good to know

Id love to see you do this video as a dawn dish soap commercial haha very well done!

Worked super well!

thank you brother much appreciate

Been spitting for long time without any issues, cheap and always available LOL

This method really working!!!

Niceeee tip man.I always put the tooth paste over night and wash it the next morning,repeat again if still FOg

The best product I have found for keeping a scuba mask fog free by far is called Frog Spit. You rub it on your mask and then let it dry. Fantastic product

Also rinse your face in cold water so that the temperature is the same inside and outside the mask

You have to be careful about dish soap since it really hurts if it gets in your eyes. Swap the dish soap out for tear-free baby shampoo and you have 0 problems :D

thank u so much our brother thank u so much for not taking too long to give us the solution 💖💖🤝

so nice its working thax christian

finally a way to get rid of that fog with easy tool at home thanks

rainx antifog for cars iv found to work awsome

thank you so much

I've tried the dish washing soap trick and it does work. For those that are concerned about the dish soap getting into your eyes, some folks I dove with recently recommended baby shampoo. I plan on trying that trick, and I bet it will smell better than the dish soap.

So cool

I have a full face mask. The why I remove fog is leave some water inside the mask and wave it to wash the fog out. It always works perfectly.

Johnson baby shampoo wont burn the crap out of your eyes and works great as a defog

why do i watch this video i dont even own those glasses

Thanks mate😉

oh nice thanks it workes

Thank you

Det med spyttinga fungerer for meg! :))

Astronauts used a similar method to avoid fogging in their helmets during extravehicular activty. After the Col. Hadfield incident when he got temporary blind due his own tears, they make sure to use "no tears" products.

Rub the lense on your ball bag for optimum results

You are from Norway right? Good video!

It works!

Nice trick christian, my trainer still ask me to breath by mouth, not nose. Its hard for me lol

Ur My inspiration :)))

Great tips 👌🏻. And baby shampoo is a more common method on dive boats. Sadly I overspent on a Atomic Venom mask that ironically has been the worst mask for fogging ! Over a hundred US dollars and what a waste ! None of these techniques work. Time to sell it and I already bought a cheaper SEAC low volume mask to replace it. My cressi big eyes never gives me trouble. Live and learn I suppose and money thrown away !

Thanks

My mask always fogup great tip thanks👍

does this remove shatterproofing of the glass or is that an integral feature of the glass?

I need this to work because my goggles always fog up so I have to take them off and that causes irritation.

tenx for the tips! it is a very strange situation that big and old makers of scuba gear send to the market masks that you cannot realy dive with beacuse of exterm foging. why dont they just do it in the factory???????????

thanks

i found the perfect solution. Stream2Sea reef safe shampoo / body wash. I apply a pea size drop and my mask stays fog free all day. I'd be afraid to hold a lighter to my Hollis M3.

cool!!!

I used anti tear shampoo and it worked

Wow you used zalo as the soap, never knew you were norwegian xD

Not so sure about the lighter, but everything else Christian suggests has always worked for me.

Johnson baby shampoo works perfectly, plus it doesn't burn your eyes... You should try that instead!!!

I'm new I subscribed :)

Thnx

A technique I learned while in Greece is to take a slice of a fresh potato and rub it all over the inside of the glass. Might've been a yam instead of a normal potato though.

Its still fogging WHAT DO I DO WITH MY MASK

are you from norway or sweden because i see you have Salo and we have Salo in norway.

It was very cool and my friends told me that your swimming goggles is shining and it is transparent but I have just put Dettol hand wash in it and just you have done that way only and it was very cool thank you for your words

can you still do this after the mask has been used for a couple of month? thanks

I always thought it had to do with the moisture on your face , cause it to fog

Maybe not emergency but common way before every diving 😉

Johnsons baby shampoo works get the small travel size bottle and its perfect. Ive tried gels and sprays made specifically for mask defogging and they have not worked.

I'm a swimmer and people that are new to the swim team always think it's weird when I lick my goggles.

What about geting your face under wather to even temperatures before adding mask

I hate it when i free-dive then stay in the water for long then my vision gets blurry then when i get out my mask is so fogged up

Do you have to use dishwashing soap before each dive or will it last for a few weeks?

i can imagine the water mixed with the soap in your mask running in to your eyes whilst you are underwater

I have the same ones

I use a tig welder and just incinerate the glass then hit it with a disk sander. But spit works fine too.

So it cleans your face ?

But does the soap affect the vision

spit is the best but if you gonna dive in a water below 0 degres ,rub the glass whit potatoes .

I've been using baby shampoo works great.

Spit its the best

Can the lighter be used if you have swam with your brand new mask only once?

I've spat in my mask for, well forever! Its cheap, no farting about and no extra gear to stow with your diving gear and less messy! If you do this correctly you'll have no problems!

What happens when the soap gets in your eyes

Spitting doesn't always work for me so I'm going to try the soap

Does it work with prescription goggles?

Du er kul

are you Norwegian? because i saw that zalo bottle and it was written in Norwegian en dråpe er nok so i just wondered

Never seen regular water with bubbles like that

i want to learn how to remain on the surface when the floor is much deeper because whenever i try to do it i just start to sink off

but when I'm in the pool, doesn't the soap wash off?

Can I do it after diving a several times

Every time i wash my mask with water and then spit in it and rub it then put a litlle bit of water than no more fogging and used it for years

Just before dive,clean inside outside glasses of your mask with juice of potato.Then clean your mask with the sea water.Then dive safely.Good vision.From Cyprus with respect.

using soap or even sea gold makes my eyes sting and I end up purposely flooding my mask to get rid of the sting. I will try the lighter method tho.

When he says: ''Fog up'' It souns like he says: Fuck up.. XD

Hi

I have one question does the toothpaste get to your eyes

When my younger bother and I were learning to dive when we were young I convinced him to pee in his mask because I saw Mike Nelson on Sea Hunt do it to prevent fogging. Ok so maybe I lied to him but he got even nay times over

Funker zalo på sprayflaske? Eller blir den for uttynnet? 😊

I’m going swimming tmr so

Does it work on gogles

How do u breathe with that gogles?

What country are you from? Norway? cant really make out of your acent

tear free baby shampoo is much less painful to get in your eyes. It's cheap and comes in small bottles perfect for a pocket. Same idea though.

this always happens to me.
