Oh I've just found a dive shop not 10 mins drive from my house - I shall be popping up there next Saturday

I cant really do the 'shoving something on my eye thing' I'm a bit squeamish about eyes, plus I quite like my face furniture

Can you swim in contact lenses too?

I can't read small font in them, so don't use them for work or when I read for pleasure.

But they're fine for socialising and excellent for diving (sea water does terrible things to the hinges on glasses - unless you want to look like Hugh Grant and wear your prescription mask all day...) and ok for reading dive computers. You can swim in them if you use swimming goggles.

can't you get your ordinary glasses on under goggles? (I wear mine under my safety specs when wood butchering)

Or do you wear 80's Deirdre Barlow style specs?

Do you need a mask at all? I've got some Zoggs prescription swimming goggles that cost about £15, just use a nose clip with them.

Mine are more Dame Edna than Derdrie

Not a great option when diving. You need to be able to equalise the pressure in all airspaces - not possible if wearing goggles.

Going down just 10 metres would result in a nasty bloodshot eye or worse...

Just 10m with a snorkel.

A scuba dive of just 5m hurt like hell, I would imagine 3m would be more than deep enough if you're just pottering about the coast on holiday.
