8 Mask Defogging Products Compared

In light of our recent post concerning how to prepare a new dive mask, I was interested to discover this article in Scuba Diving, in which the testers pitted 8 commercial mask defogging products against each other:

Aquaseal Sea Gold Absolutely Clear 500 PSI 200 Ft. Viz Aquaseal Sea Drops Aquaseal Sea Ice Trident Instructor's Choice Aquaseal Sea Quick

(Hey, where's the Wide-i magnetic fog wipers?)

In the end, they determined that Johnson's baby shampoo performed almost as well as some of the commercial solutions and that spit performed better than some of the weaker defogs: "most (but not all) of the commercial products do work considerably longer than the free one [spit], the best lasting the equivalent of three dives compared to one-and-a-half for spit." With a final determiation like that, I'm certainly happy I'm not banking my retirement on my new mask defog product.
