You've found the perfect mask that fits you face and the right color to impress the fish. Here are some tips to help you prepare your mask before taking it into the water.

Every once in a while, re-sanitize your mask and snorkel with toothpaste and the toothbrush. It will keep them from retaining a possible mildew odor. You could also soak or rinse them with a mild solution of mouthwash. This solution could be used with your regulator mouthpiece, your manual inflator-hose and the inside of your BCD.
