JU> I am presently involved in an environmental awareness program

JU>be snorkeling over seagrass beds in the Indian River Lagoon.  We will
JU>provide masks and snorkels that will be shared by different groups of
JU>students and I am somewhat concerned about maintaining sanitary conditions.
JU>Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to "sanitize" the
JU>equipment after each use?  If a chlorine solution (??%) is used, what is the
JU>best way to remove the chlorine taste?

================================================================================
You need to get all the chlorine off, or you'll end up with a lot of
students with the trots...

Alcohol will kill the germies, but is bad for the equipment (so I've
heard...).

Mild soap and a good rinse in fresh water would probably be best.
