Frequently Asked Questions - Blast OCEANIC

How to prevent the mask from fogging?

Before use, rub a defogging solution or saliva on the inner lens while dry, then rinse with water.

How to clear water from the mask while underwater?

Tilt your head back, press the top of the mask, and exhale gently through your nose. Water will be forced out the bottom edge.

How to equalize ear pressure when diving?

Pinch your nose closed with your thumb and finger and blow gently while keeping your mouth closed.

How to attach the snorkel to the mask?

Position the snorkel on the outside of the mask strap just forward of your left ear. Lift the tab on the keeper, slide it over the strap, and release.

How to clear water from the snorkel?

Exhale a sharp blast of air into the mouthpiece. Be careful when inhaling in case some water remains.

What is the proper care for the mask and snorkel?

Rinse thoroughly in fresh water after each use, towel dry. Avoid contact with black rubber to prevent discoloration. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

What is covered under the warranty?

The mask and snorkel are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from date of purchase for the original purchaser, under normal recreational use and proper care.

What is not covered by the warranty?

Warranty does not cover damage from abuse, improper care, stress cracks, UV degradation, or prolonged sun/heat exposure. Also excludes the mask strap, snorkel keeper, and mouthpiece.

How to avoid mask squeeze?

As you descend, exhale slowly into the mask through your nose to equalize pressure inside the mask.

Why does my clear silicone turn yellow?

Avoid contact with black rubber items, as they can cause discoloration of clear silicone. Also limit exposure to sunlight and heat.

USER MANUAL Blast OCEANIC

Water is more dense than air which makes objects look blurry. A mask provides an air space in front of the eyes to eliminate distorted vision.

PREPARATION

Prior to using the mask for the first time, thoroughly clean both sides of the lens with a nonabrasive liquid detergent, or toothpaste, to remove any residue, then rinse with fresh water.

To prevent fogging during use, rub a 'no fog' solution, or saliva, on the inner surface of the lens while it is still dry, then rinse with water.

Adjust the strap so that it holds the mask comfortably and firmly in position on your face without being too tight or restrictive.

USE

Place the mask on your face and pull the strap over the top of your head.

To clear water that enters the mask, stand up or come to the surface and lift the bottom of the mask away from your face to allow the water to drain out. While underwater, tilt your head back and exhale gently into the mask while pressing the top portion with your fingers. Water will be forced out the bottom edge.

To eliminate mask squeeze caused by the higher pressures that are experienced when diving deeper than a few feet, exhale slowly into the mask through your nose as you dive deeper.

To equalize pressure in your ears, pinch your nose closed with your thumb and finger and blow gently while holding your mouth closed.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

At the end of each day of use, rinse your mask thoroughly in fresh water and towel dry.

Do not allow the clear silicon skirt or strap to come in contact with items that are black rubber. This will cause the clear silicon to become discolored.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat.

Ensure that the mask is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry location.

SNORKEL

FUNCTION

Allows you to breath while on the surface without lifting your head out of the water.

PREPARATION

Position the snorkel on the outside of the mask strap so it will be just forward of your left ear. Carefully lift the tab located at the bottom of the keeper (holder) slightly away from the barrel of the snorkel, and slide the keeper down over the mask strap and release the tab.

USE

To hold the snorkel in your mouth, gently bite on the mouthpiece tabs, and keep your lips sealed around the mouthpiece.

While snorkeling, keep your chin slightly up so the top of the snorkel stays out of the water.

Water that does enter when you dive underwater or encounter a wave can be removed by exhaling a sharp blast of air into the mouth-piece. Use caution when inhaling in case some of the water not removed. Repeat as necessary.

If water enters more frequently than normal, ensure that the snorkel is positioned properly on the mask strap, make sure that your mouth is sealed around the mouthpiece, and make sure that the end of the snorkel is out of the water while you are swimming. Also check to ensure that there are no holes or cuts in the mouthpiece, and that the round silicon purge valve located in the bottom of the barrel is not distorted or missing and is sealing the opening.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

At the end of each day of use, rinse your snorkel thoroughly in fresh water and towel dry.

Do not allow the clear silicon portions of the snorkel to come in contact with items that are black rubber. This will cause the clear silicon to become discolored.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat.

Ensure that the snorkel is completely dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry location.
