Can you Dive with Glasses?

Because of the increased pressure, the spectacles you are wearing may cause discomfort underwater. Other than that, hard or gas-permeable contact lenses may cause additional issues such as eye pain, suction problems, and blurry vision caused by trapped nitrogen air bubbles. The deeper perimeter you dive, the more the pressure increases and the more discomfort you will feel.

Scuba Diving With Glasses Or Contact Lenses?

Attempting to go scuba diving with prescription glasses or soft contact lenses might be alright, but there are still risks that you may want to consider before carrying out your diving session. Spectacles can break under high water pressure; also, DO NOT wear hard contact lenses; instead, opt for soft contact lenses. However, they can still come out underwater if your mask floods. 

With OOOptic prescription scuba diving lens inserts, you can easily pop them into your scuba masks. You do not need to worry about fogging or losing your vision, as our lens inserts are of the utmost quality.

101 Guide to Diving With Scuba Goggles

When diving with Scuba Goggles, it is best to follow the steps below:

  1. Proper Mask Sealing

Ensure that your scuba diving mask is the right fit for you! Although the water pressure may push the mask to fit your face, slight shifts in movement can cause the mask to move around, allowing water to seep through and compromise your vision. 

2. Use a Cleaning Agent To Remove Chances Of Fogging

For example, get a gentle commercial cleaning agent or gel toothpaste (non-whitening), so the tiny crystalized bits won’t scratch your mask. By applying it onto your mask the day before your dive, ensure that it is washed thoroughly and dried with no residue left behind. 

3. Utilize Defog Before Diving

Remember to apply Defog agent such as dish soap or shampoo after removing the silicon layer. Ensure that your masks have no chance of fogging up, and you can enjoy the serenity of the ocean or sea alongside underwater mother nature. 

4. Burning The Silicone (For Professionals)

If done correctly, it will be highly effective; if not, then there is a risk of damaging your diving mask. So instead, use a lighter with the very tip of the flame directly under the mask and move quickly to ensure it doesn’t get too heated in one region. Once you have done both sides of the mask, you can wipe it away, and you are good to go!

The best scuba diving goggles protect the water pressure, preventing water from seeping in and depending on the lens, they can improve visibility in low or bright light. Unfortunately, standard scuba diving goggles are ineffective for those who require vision correction but cannot wear contact lenses due to the permeable gases that will seep through the mask.
