I use spit, but the one made by Jaws...it's freaking awesome
Best mask anti-fog / de-fog ?

Moray Eel Spit works WONDERFULLY, but it's damned hard to obtain.

That sounds like "total BS" to me. Did you hear that from someone who was selling commercial de-foggers?Jeremy Bouwman:
Spit doesn't work for me. I guess I have weak spit. I use the stuff in the white bottle with the orange cap. I don't remember what it is called.

spit works ok for me but I use that as a last resort....like if my mask is starting to fog up right before I go under. I have used the baby shampoo water mixture and its hit or miss. Maybe I am washing it out too much. If I use a commercial de-fogger am i suppose to fully wash it out?

Don't dilute it. Just use it straight out of the bottle, Aviator. Scrub your lenses, if you did that when your mask was new -- Scrub them again, and then next time out, use undiluted baby shampoo, smear it around and let it get a little tacky. Then rinse and enjoy a fog-free dive.

Yep, use it straight. You may also need to use a bit more than you have been. I found by trial & error that one of my masks just works better when I put a bit more on it.

I'm spoiled and partial to "500 PSI" defog goo available at my LDS. Few bucks a bottle, smear and wash... after the dive it dries out and turns white so spit and reuse or put more on. Toothpaste and shampoo hun? Cool.

Baby shampoo is the best defogger for me.
Just dilute it with water and store it in a water bottle. When youre ready to dive, put it on the mask for five minutes. After five minutes or so, just throw away the excess liquid, dont rinse it immediately. I usually put it on after Im in the water, so it gets bit of rinsing that way.
Plus the bonus is that it also smells really nice.
Shrugs, this defogger has worked exceptionally well for me .after aggravating tries of multiple commercial products which barely even worked.
And no, I've never tried the spit idea, nor am I ever going to. That is just so gross!
