My second son, Ronald... In selecting a proper mask for diving, a big consideration should be on its proper fit on your face for a good seal.. although divers are trained to put away the water inside the mask underwater, it is time consuming and put a strain to the eyes. In trying out a mask, push the mask firmly onto your face, if it remains there unsupported, then it is a good seal. Also, field of vision and comfort are essential for a fun sight-seeing underwater!!!
Mask fogging is one problem that can be prevented by smearing the inside face of the mask with tooth paste then rinse it in the water. Others do it by smearing it with their own spit. One time during our dive at Duka Bay, our dive guide use papaya leaves to smear the masks and I also tried.. it worked perfectly. I dont worry anymore if I forget to bring tooth paste during a dive, Papaya trees are everywhere in the Philippines.
