How to Care for Your Mask
Taking proper care of your equipment ensures it stays reliable and comfortable dive after dive. Because the Zoom Lite uses advanced polycarbonate lenses and a special anti-fog film, your traditional mask preparation routine needs a slight update.
💡 Expert Tip: Never use the traditional "burn" trick or harsh toothpaste to prep this mask! Because the lenses are polycarbonate and feature a pre-applied anti-fog film, abrasive cleaners or heat will permanently damage them. Simply peel off the protective inner decals before your first use, wet the lenses with fresh water before you jump in, and you are ready to dive.
After your underwater adventure, rinse the mask thoroughly in clean, cool, fresh water. If you have been diving in a chlorinated pool, tap water is best to wash away the chemicals. Dry the mask gently with a soft cloth and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Over time, if the anti-fog film loses its magic, simply wash the lenses gently with a mild detergent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put prescription lenses in the Scubapro Zoom Lite Dive Mask?
Yes. Scubapro offers optional corrective lens inserts that are compatible with the Zoom Lite frame, allowing divers who wear glasses or contact lenses to dive with full optical correction. It's worth checking with our team at Mike's Dive Store for compatible prescription options.
How do I stop my polycarbonate dive mask from fogging?
The Zoom Lite comes with a high-quality Anti-Fog Film already applied. Simply wet the inside of the lens with fresh water just before you dive to activate the film and maximise the anti-fog effect.
Is the Scubapro Zoom Lite good for beginners?
Yes, the Scubapro Zoom Lite is an excellent choice for beginners. Its low internal volume makes mask clearing straightforward, and the soft silicone skirt provides a forgiving, reliable seal on a wide range of face shapes. The quick-release buckles are also simple to adjust, which is helpful when you're still getting comfortable with your gear.
Can I use toothpaste to clean the Scubapro Zoom Lite?
No, you should never use toothpaste or abrasive cleaners on this mask. These harsh agents will scratch the polycarbonate lenses and strip away the protective anti-fog film, ruining your clear underwater view.
