How to maintain snorkeling set?

Snorkeling set mainly includes masks, fins, breathing tubes and buoyancy adjustment devices. The key steps and methods for maintaining snorkeling set include the following aspects.

‌1. Masks‌

‌Before diving‌: Check the rubber straps, skirt silicone, flexibility of the snorkeling tube and stretching of the mouthpiece. Pay special attention to the seals on the edges of the mask lips to ensure that there are no cracks or wear.

‌After diving‌: Rinse the mask with warm fresh water and avoid using heat sources or abrasive items. After cleaning, place it in a cool and ventilated place to dry, avoiding direct sunlight. You can apply a thin layer of toothpaste on the mask for maintenance.

‌2. Fins‌

‌Before diving‌: Check the edges and seams of the fins to ensure that there is no wear or cracking. Check whether the fin straps are damaged to avoid folding or wrinkling.

‌After diving‌: Rinse the fins thoroughly with fresh water and ensure that they are stored flat after drying to avoid folding or wrinkling.

‌3. Snorkel‌

‌Before diving‌: Check the flexibility and blockage of the snorkel.

‌After diving‌: Rinse the snorkel with fresh water and store it dry.

‌4. Buoyancy Compensation Device (BCD)‌

‌Before diving‌: Check the airtightness of the BCD and the normal operation of all exhaust valves. Make sure the waist belt, shoulder straps and tank straps are not worn.

‌After diving‌: Rinse the inside of the BCD thoroughly, make sure it is partially inflated and hung in a cool and dry place after drying.

‌5. Other accessories‌

‌Wet suits‌: Wash with special soap or detergent, avoid using hard brushes or corrosive chemicals. Hang to dry after washing, avoid folding or wrinkling.

‌Cylinders‌: Visually inspect the cylinders regularly to ensure that there is no corrosion or damage. Rinse the cylinders with water after diving to avoid seawater accumulation and corrosion.

‌Dive computer and compass‌: Check the battery power and function to ensure that the information can be accurately displayed during the dive.
