    Great advice, I was just about to get rid of my diving mask( and spend $70 for a new one) because it continually fogged up when I was swimming. Put some dishing liquid on both lenses following Christian's instructions and my mask stayed crystal clear my whole swim, well done Christian!!

    Apply shaving cream, rub it in and then clean very well it with a dry paper towel or cloth until there is no more cream. Works on mirrors and windshields lasting up to 2-3 weeks, should also work on scuba gear.

    Great tips 👌🏻. And baby shampoo is a more common method on dive boats. Sadly I overspent on a Atomic Venom mask that ironically has been the worst mask for fogging ! Over a hundred US dollars and what a waste ! None of these techniques work. Time to sell it and I already bought a cheaper SEAC low volume mask to replace it. My cressi big eyes never gives me trouble. Live and learn I suppose and money thrown away !
