What is your best anti-fog?

Dawn dish soap, it also lubes my ski bindings. You can even wash dirty dishes with it.

I use the Sea Gold stuff. That stuff is powerful, although it (and most others) will turn into a hard slush in the winter time. After the bottle is half full, I'll top it off with water and shake vigorously- and it still works great (go ahead and call me cheap). I've only used the baby shampoo once, but it seems to work well.

My spit will NOT defog a mask- I guess I just don't spit right. I don't like the liquid wipers since any extra water sloshing around distorts my vision. Normally, this isn't a problem, but I take an anti-emetic when I boat dive that makes the distortion and vertigo worse.

I've never forgotten to bring spit with me on a dive outing, and I've never been too short on cash to have some spit. And if I do get a little fogging despite nature's best, I just do what Catherine said.

It seems like purposefully letting a little water into a mask and flushing it out to get rid of fog is a lost art. Sea Drops are relatively cheap (spit is still cheaper) and work well. I actually use my sea drops on the bathroom mirror- no fogging after hot showers!

HEY!! cool idea,lol, really i never thought of it, but i do use water in mask if i forget my seadrops and that is fail proof, though i find that seadrops are the best that comes in a bottle

I'm tired of sloshing water around inside the mask. It takes the spit off the glass. And, right when I need to see well it seems like the water gets in the way. (Yeah, I know, I'm too lazy to remove the water after the slosh and I don't like the mask strap tight enough to keep water out anyway.)

But the trick is how to keep plastic lenses worn inside the mask from fogging. If I can ever do that I'll have a $1.00 prescription mask.

Otherwise I have to glue lenses on the outside and nowadays they need about 8 diopters which takes multiple lenses stacked up or use lenses from magnifying glasses, this because they don't magnify as much underwater. And such high powered lenses don't let me see when out of the water.

Contact lenses work well underwater but I've got major dry eye out of the water.

OK, I'll have to pay the vig for a prescription mask....but not if I can get lenses inside the mask to not fog.

Well, it is something to fool around with.

Spit. I might just bottle it and sell it on ebay.

 

[sasscuba]

Spit, hands down, works the best for me....

I was using what ever the lds gave me during our OW class until 2 weeks ago in Key Largo, I the just used spit, works far better than anything else so far ad doesn't cost me anything.
