I'll tell you a little secret. People on the ship also wash themselves. And all the water after washing is eventually discharged into the ocean. Therefore, shampoo for a mask is not the biggest problem!
You are right. But one thing I can fix, I will fix. Plus, baby shampoo lasts about 1 dive. Defog between 6-11 dives. I am creating a formula now that we get 11 fog free dives. Some say I am foolish because I won't sell enough to make it worth it. One bottle will last someone too long. But, I am a foolish guy. Better for the diver and better for the sea. Thanks for watching, more to come soon. Freddy
Freddy, I recently viewed one of your videos related to dive masks. Near the end you shared an opinion related to dive boats and the use of spray bottles containing diluted Baby Shampoo. You stated (paraphrase) “and then they add it too the ocean! Impacting the marine life “. How is it that that anti-fog products aren’t impacting the ocean in the same way??? Rusty…
Hey Richard. They have different chemicals. Example is perfumes, numbing agents in tears free, artificial colors that are known to have carcinogens. I am not a bunny hugging activist but I believe in being responsible. Dish soap and baby shampoos have a lot of stuff in them that can be harmful. Defog is usually a form of silicone, many are natural from oils like aloe vera, and sometimes animal fat. No colors, perfumes. I obviously haven't researched every brand so I cannot say if some use some chemicals that could harm. But the sheer volume of divers and operations that use baby shampoo and dish soap simply because it is cheap is staggering. I have a video coming out soon detailing the chemicals and the potential harmful affects. Thanks for watching. More to come soon. Freddy
@@WhiteEaglePerry Everything is bad for the body. It depends on the amount ingested. Too much water can destroy your kidneys. And, let's face it, the shampoo you use in the bathroom ends up in the ocean as well. The little bit you use for your mask isn't going to make a difference.
Where do you think all the baby shampoo residue that's used to wash hair ends up...not to mention every other kind of body, clothes, and dish washing soap ends up? Yeah, in the ocean...so the few drops per mask per dive used by divers is adding nothing to sea soap pollution!
Same with Sunblock? Pretty sure my baby shampoo that goes down the drain here in Colorado gets filtered out at the water treatment facility. Different when going through a water treatment facility than being dumped directly into the ocean. And yes, not much is used but most boats globally use it as their free defog. I mean if we have a choice why not choose something better? Defog isn't expensive so I will use a product that doesn't contribute to...
@@LeviathanScuba I never use sunblock in the shower. I agree that, if we can reduce the use, we should, and mask defog works better than baby shampoo, but "carcinogenic", and "dangerous" can be applied to pretty much any substance when ingested in excess. Just look at the California Proposition 65 health warning you find on every product. If you need to put it on everything ever produced, it kinda loses its meaning. I've seen it on solid metal objects, probably because a metal was used in the alloy that might be hazardous on its own, but isn't when in an alloy. I'll give you another example: Chlorine is pretty bad for you. A little can kill you. Sodium is a highly reactive metal. Ingesting it will burn a hole through your body. But in an ionic bond it's just sea salt, totally harmless. Detergents used to have phosphates, but they don't anymore, but not because phosphates are necessarily bad for the environment. Phosphor is a major element in DNA and promotes algae growth. The layers of algae formed would suffocate the other plant life as it would block light and prevent oxygenation of the water.
Don't listen to this salesman, Johnson's, or any other, Baby Shampoo is all you need. A dab (undiluted) on each lens (dry) and then quick rinse is all you need 🧴🧴🧴
Take a look at what is in baby shampoo and how it harms the ocean. I will upload the video soon. Many harmful chemicals. And Jonnieinbangkok, what was I selling? Don't be a troll, we both love the ocean and I am trying to protect divers. Go ahead and use non reef safe sunblock so you don't get sunburned. Freddy

Awesome simple video but so important!!!!!!!

The BEST is Johnson Baby Shampoo . Smells nice, no tears, totally safe on our mask and eyes.
Not good for the ocean however. The video goes into the chemical make up of baby shampoo. Bad stuff to put into the ocean.
did you even bother to watch the video first before commenting?
