Fog

Hi all, I have a new mask. It seems to fog up more than any mask I've ever had. Even anti-fog solutions are only effective for 15mins. is there a reason for this? or better yet is there a solution to this?

When you use the anti fog soultion. Put it on then only rinse it once not with your hands just dip it in the water and leave it that should help. Just make sure though when you wash your gear to do the toothpaste and dry it out well and that should help you.

any questions please e-mail me rmathieson@msn.com

Some divers (beginners usually) have a bad habit to breath out through the nose, even with the mask on. If you do, your mask will fog up.

Not everyone can afford to complement their underwater camera with external strobes. But shooting anything further than a meter or so away without external strobes often results in monochrome blue (or green) images. However, with the addition of a simple, affordable filter, things don't need to be so dull.
