Hello;
I have a prescription CLEAR LENSED mask by Sea Vision.
I ordinarily dive with my mask that has the red lenses in the daytime (LOVE IT) and use the clear lensed mask for night dives. The one with clear lenses fogged up last weekend, even after applying my regular defog. Sea Gold brand.
I tried the spit thing, and I am good at that procedure, and it still kept fogging up on me. It was the first night dive of the year for me, and I am thinking I need to hit it with old fashioned Crest white toothpaste or something.
My assumption is after a year and a half of storage, the silicone has degraded or gassed off of the skirt and has placed a fine coating of crud on the lenses.
I know that you SHOULD NOT TOUCH SEA VISION RED OR YELLOW LENSES with toothpaste.
Will it hurt the clear lensed mask to do this?
I have some Sea Buff around here also, but cannot seem to find it at the moment.
Is is safe to use regular white toothypaste on a clear lensed Sea Vision mask?
Regards,
Chug
