How To Pre-Treat
Your New Dive Mask

Hello and thank you for choosing a Kraken Aquatics dive mask!

We're excited to be a part of your underwater adventures. To ensure you have the best experience, it's very important to pre-treat your new mask. This simple process removes the thin layer of silicone left from manufacturing that can cause fogging, giving you a clear view underwater.


Choose the method that is best for you!

There are two effective methods for pre-treating your mask, and we’ve created YouTube videos to guide you through each process. Whether you prefer the gentle approach of the toothpaste method or the quick efficiency of the fire/lighter method, we have you covered. Take a look at the videos below to learn more about each technique and choose the one that suits you best.

The Toothpaste Method

The toothpaste method is a gentle and effective way to pre-treat your mask. By using a non-gel toothpaste, you can easily remove the silicone layer without risking any damage to the mask. This method is perfect for those who prefer a straightforward and safe approach to preparing their gear.

The Fire/Lighter Method

The fire/lighter method is a quick and efficient way to pre-treat your mask. By carefully using a flame to burn off the silicone layer, you can achieve clear visibility in no time. This method is ideal for those who are comfortable with a hands-on approach and want fast results.


No matter which method you choose, your mask will be crystal clear and ready for your next underwater adventure. Pre-treating your mask will provide you with clear, fog-free views, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of the underwater world.
