Care & Maintenance

Keep Your Gear Adventure-Ready

Your Deep South mask is designed to deliver crystal-clear underwater adventures. With a little care, it will provide years of reliable performance.

Your mask features a factory-applied anti-fog coating. Treat it gently to keep it performing at its best.

Protect the Anti-Fog Coating

To preserve the anti-fog treatment, keep the inside of the lens away from anything abrasive or chemical.

• Never rub or scrub the inside of the lens
• Never use toothpaste, abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or chemical solvents
• Never use rough cloths, brushes, or your fingernails
• Avoid drying in direct sunlight or using heat

Before Every Ocean Adventure

Rinse your mask with fresh water before heading in. Avoid touching the inside of the lens — natural skin oils reduce the effectiveness of the anti-fog coating over time.

After Every Ocean Adventure

• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine
• Allow your gear to air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area
• Avoid harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners
• Never wipe the inside of the lens with rough fabrics or paper towels. If needed, use a soft microfibre cloth designed for eyewear
• Do not leave your mask in direct sunlight or inside a hot vehicle — excessive heat can affect the silicone over time
• Store your mask in its Deep South 100% biodegradable waterproof bag to protect the lens from scratches
• If needed, use only a drop of mild dishwashing liquid and your fingertips to gently clean the silicone and the outside of the lens. Rinse thoroughly afterwards

A Few Extra Tips

• Handle your mask with clean hands
• Avoid placing the lens face down on hard or rough surfaces
• Store in a cool, dry place when not in use
• Inspect your mask regularly for signs of wear before entering the water
