He said that the research indicates not to wear them. Your optician will, of course, give you the most conservative possible answer to avoid any hint of liability exposure, but that answer may not be a realistic one. I wear soft contact lenses while diving. I do a *lot* of diving, mostly deep ocean and cave, and I've been doing it for a *long* time. I've never had any kind of problem with bacteria or anything else for that matter. >Anyone get a mask flooding while wearing contacts ?? Yes. Just close your eyes down to small slits. The contacts will stay put and you'll be able to see as well as anyone can underwater without a mask. -Mike Rodriguez <mikey@ma*.co*> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
