Product Care
Masks
Before Use: New masks often have a silicone film on the lenses. Remove it with a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner like toothpaste (not gel). Rub with your fingers (not a cloth or brush), rinse thoroughly, and repeat 2–3 times.
During Use: Apply anti-fog (commercial or baby shampoo diluted with water) before each dive on dry lenses. Rinse lightly before diving.
After Use: Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each dive to remove salt and sand. Dry in the shade, avoiding direct sunlight. Store in a protective case to prevent scratches or damage to the silicone skirt.
Wetsuits
Rinse Thoroughly: After each dive, soak your wetsuit in fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and debris. For deeper cleaning, use wetsuit shampoo occasionally.
Drying: Hang your wetsuit inside out on a wide hanger in a shaded, ventilated area. Flip it the next day to ensure both sides dry completely. Never dry in direct sunlight – UV exposure weakens neoprene.
Storage: Store hanging on a wide hanger to avoid creases. For long-term storage, avoid folding the wetsuit.
NZ Tip: Rinse especially well after dives in geothermal areas, as minerals can degrade neoprene.
Regulators
Rinse After Use: After each dive, rinse thoroughly in fresh water. Never press the purge button during rinsing or soaking.
Soak Periodically: Soak in fresh water for 15–20 minutes to dissolve salt crystals, ensuring the dust cap is securely in place.
Dry and Store: Allow to air dry fully before storing in a cool, dry place. Avoid tight coils in hoses.
Servicing: Regulators must be serviced annually by a certified technician under New Zealand standards for safe operation in our colder, variable waters.
BCDs
External Cleaning: After each dive, rinse the outside with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and grit.
Internal Flushing: Partially inflate the BCD, add fresh water through the oral inflator, swish it around, then drain through the dump valves. Repeat as needed.
Drying: Hang in a shaded, ventilated area with the bladder partially inflated to dry completely inside and out.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, slightly inflated, to maintain the shape of the bladder.
Servicing: Have BCDs inspected and serviced annually, focusing on inflator mechanisms, valves, and bladder integrity.
Tanks (Cylinders)
Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each dive, paying special attention to the valve area to prevent corrosion. Dry completely before storage.
Storage: Store upright in a cool, dry place. Secure tanks to prevent tipping. Never store fully empty – leave 20–50 bar in the tank to prevent moisture ingress.
Testing: In New Zealand, it is mandatory for tanks to undergo a visual inspection annually and a hydrostatic test every two years. Check the date stamps on your cylinder to ensure compliance.
