Mask question

Post by Bill in Va »

Yo Bro. Go to the nearest dive shop. Does Blacksburg have one? Get the mask you like that fits and then order the lens with your prescription. I have my old prescription lenses which are no good to me since I got lasic so don't throw away the original ones just in case you get the eye job done. I had one eye for near the other for far. Works great. There is a shop about 15 minutes from me in Gainesville, Va that I took my nitox course from...God bless...Bill

Hi Jorge -

Juice (my husband) got a prescription mask from Snorkelmart a few months back and used in STJ in June. He was very pleased with it and it came quickly.

By the way, those puppies are adorable! How fun!

My hubs seconds Snorkel-Mart. He hasn't had a problem with fit but he just snorkels, doesn't dive.

Jorge,
Whatever you do I would get a different brand.My prescription mask is going on 10 years old and is in perfect working order.I wish I could say the same for my eyes.

Hey, Jorge, in my previous life I sold rx eyeglasses for 36 years. Another dive mask source you might consider is seavisionusa.com
They have a wide variety. Whatever way you go I would recommend getting your optician or eye doctor to check them over when you get them.
When you find yourself in a hole.... quit digging.
