What type of snorkeling mask/fins do you use?

Sorry if this has been asked, but just trying to understand the sandbar thing. From what I understand there are 2 sandbars off shore. Is this true for all of 30A?

what do you guys do to keep the mask from fogging?

You can buy a spray at most dive shops, but it's really nothing more than a very weak soap solution. I use very diluted...very diluted baby shampoo in a little spray bottle. Couple squirts, rub around with your fingers, and give a quick dunk in clean water. Works like a charm...

Oh...yeah...spit works, too, but...uh...gross...

The first sandbar is basically right where the waves break near shore. When you first enter the water it becomes knee/thigh deep and then it gets shallower. That's the first sandbar. The second sandbar is the strip of color you see further out. It's 6 to 8 feet mostly.

And Hop, regarding stopping the mask from fogging up. You can spit in it and rub it around, then wash it out. That works and its free.

You can get anti-fog sprays from Dive Shops and Sunglass shops.

We have used good ole fashion spit for years. Just spit on the lens, rub it thoroughly, then rinse with salt water. Works well.

NOTE: A new mask will have a film on the silicon which makes sealing difficult. Use toothpaste and rub the silicon thoroughly then rinse thoroughly.

We bought a really nice Body Glove set at Sam's. It was $75 on Body Glove's site and only $40 at Sam's.
