Ever buy a $4 bottle of Sea Drops use it once or twice lose it and go buy another. It's a vicious circle isn't it.
While diving in the Florida Keys I came across a cheaper method that works just as good and costs almost nothing.
Go to Wal-Mart in the travel section where they sale small travel things like tooth paste, asprin, shampoo, shave cream and the like and pick up one of those small 50 cent bottles with the pump spray tops and lid.
Then grab a large bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo for a buck at the dollar store and you have a supply of sea drops that will last for months or years.
Mix it to suit yourself. I put about 1/3 shampoo in the bottle and then fill the bottle with water. Shake well before use.
Pros:
Everytime you use it you clean your mask.
If it gets in your eyes it doesn't sting.
It is very cheap.
Use it to clean other equipment.
Cons:
If your mask lense isn't nice and clean it won't work very well until you use it enough that your mask gets clean. In this case mix it a little heavier with the shampoo. Also you may take some mild toothpaste (without a gritty texture) and clean you mask lense well to get off the factory film. This usually takes several scrubbings. If you're an old salt and have had your mask a long time you probably won't have a problem.
