Equipment should be disinfected, especially when it comes into contact with the face, eyes or mouth. This
includes but is not limited to:
•
Second stage regulator (Octopus) and internal surfaces
•
Snorkel
•
BCD oral inflator
•
Mask
Cleaning frequency must ensure to the user a good protection and the right functionality. When using any
disinfectant, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for use. Follow this with a thorough rinse
in fresh water, and allow the equipment to dry completely before use. Since some chemicals can damage
surfaces, they should be tested prior to use for each individual item or surface. After disinfecting, one must
take care not to contaminate the equipment, such as by handling it when storing. Therefore, dry, pack and
store any sanitized equipment in a disinfected bag or container using washed/sanitized hands.
For an efficient cleaning of any part of the equipment, soaking in clean warm water (around 40°C/100F°)
adding a colourless not perfumed hand washing liquid soap is suggested.
Afterwards, rinse deeply under fresh water to remove any soap residual and allow the perfect drying in a
safe and clean environment.
