It’s best to rinse your gear with fresh water as soon as you finish snorkeling and let it air dry away from direct sunlight. Make sure all equipment is completely dry before storing it, and keep it in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat and sunlight.
To clean the equipment more thoroughly, soak it in warm water with a gentle soap or dish detergent for at least a few minutes and then gently wipe away any debris. Rinse the equipment well and allow it to air dry in the shade.
