I wore contacts when doing my Open Water in Bonaire last year. No problems at all. Even when i had to swim with my mask off alongside my buddy...they didn't come out. Enjoy your stay guys 👍

You are very welcome and we are delighted you found the video helpful. 😊 stay safe and enjoy Cozumel!

Great video, as a fellow contact lense wearer from OW this was one of the issues I had when I first started. I’ve only ever lost one contact lense while diving and that was when my mask got knocked off by a student. Easily rectified by grabbing a set of glasses ( I carry a spare pair in my dive bag ) I also carry a backup mask on every dive, just incase, that mask is a prescription mask with a lense that’s out of date by a year or so. I love wearing contacts Vs glasses so it was great news when I was told I could wear them diving

So so true was great news when knew we could too 😊 That is actually really smart move to have spare mask with prescription with you!

@@BlueHorizonDiving something I started doing after my rescue course! My thinking behind it ( apart from the obvious ) is if a buddy / student has their mask knocked off and they can’t get hold of theirs, I can always donate my mask, ( yes I’ll lose my contact lenses but I carry the glasses in my dive bag ) and switch to a backup mask for myself, that way the diver in question can finish the dive, and I can always get the mask back once we’re back to dry land

very informative, thanks🙌

They work so well and don't understand so many instructor tell divers to not wear them.

@Blue Horizon Diving Old beliefs that non-gas permeable hard contacts would cause damage to the eye.

Great infromative video Mark to help divers who haven’t tried it yet. I wear monthly contact lenses with no issues. 👍

Love the video. I have chosen to get a go with a prescription mask. I only need glasses for reading

Thank you! Great video! I will be doing my first dive soon whilst on holiday. And I was concerned I wouldn't be able to see much underwater. Now I can enjoy seeing the fishes.

You are welcome! Enjoy your first dives and hope you have an amazing time.

I did my OWD with Contacts and hated the fact I had to keep my eyes close on the mask removal training.. However since then, I've discovered Orthokeratology Lenses which have _completely changed_ my dive experience. I can dive without lenses and pull my mask off completely and look around. You only put the lenses in while you're sleeping and completely uncovered during the day.

We've never heard of them and are really interesting concept when reading up on these lenses. Thank you

I dive with lenses - the only issue I ever had was when my luggage was lost (I wear dailies) and I had no visual correction. My glasses were in my luggage as well! I now always carry my lenses in my carry on. I also carry a prescription mask incase I can't wear lenses for whatever reason.

See that is smart. Always carry lenses in both too. Prescription mask is good idea for back up 😊

I wear monthly contacts and have not had an issue yet. :)

I wear them on every dive. I would be totally blind without them! Never had an issue except during OW pool skills sessions - chlorine is not a friend. 🙄

Hey, just use your normal prescription.

How do I check if the water won't get inside my snorkel mask if I were to rent one? It's going to be my first time snorkeling and I'm extremely short sighted so I want to wear contacts, and I want to know how to check since there might be leaks if I use rented masks

@BlueHorizonDiving

Check that the seal of the mask touches your face at all points, any gaps lean to leaks! Pop it on your face without the strap, breath in through the nose and look down- it shouldn’t fall off!

I've worn RPGs for 3000 + dives and I have never had them come out or had any problems with them I also keep my yes closed if I am flooding my mask
