A new dive mask will always fog up because of silicone residue from manufacturing.

Melting it off with a lighter flame is risky and can ruin your whole mask though.

The best way to get the most out of your new mask is to give it a once-over with Sea Buff Dive Mask Precleaner instead.

If you don’t do this step, other treatments such as Sea Gold anti-fog won’t be as effective.

Sea Buff removes all silicone residue left by the factory leaving you with the clearest underwater vision and the best underwater adventures.
