Once I was diving with a new mask that I had failed to scrub adequately the night before with tooth paste. The following day I was plagued with constant annoying fogging. Halfway through the dive the problem became such an issue that I almost called the dive, when, I got an Idea.
Mucous...hmm...spit, always works, what around here is slimy? I looked at an abalone through the fog. I grabbed my buddy to keep him from cruising away, ripped off my mask, pulled a glove off (I'm good for about 5 minutes in 48 degree water)and gently stroked the tentacle area of the ab to obtain some of that slime. The slime went in the mask, the mask went back on the face, cleared, and presto, the absolute best anti fog ever created, ABALONE SLIME!
Have a nice day.
