How OnBird Maintain and Keep Our Equipment Highest Hygienic Standard
How can OnBird ensure that our equipment is thoroughly sanitized and cleaned before each snorkeling expedition?
- Immerse the diving mask and snorkel equipment in a concentrated soapy solution overnight, allowing it to soak for approximately 3 to 8 hours.
- Next, submerge the equipment in freshwater for 30 minutes to effectively rinse away any soap residue.
- Subsequently, place the snorkel in hot freshwater for an additional 2 minutes.
- Thoroughly clean the snorkel mouthpiece with a high-pressure water faucet, ensuring it is free of debris.
- Rinse the snorkel again in freshwater for 2 minutes to remove any remaining contaminants.
- Finally, hang the equipment in sunlight to air dry.
- Once dried, gather the snorkels from the previous day, organize them in a box for guests, and deliver them to the designated guides.
