Never heard the one about bubbles under the lenses. That's just down right funny!

I've been diving with gas-permeable soft contact lenses for a very long time. The worst thing that can happen is you lose one if your mask floods. I've always found the reflex to close my eyes in that case is always faster than the flooding. I've also tried opening my eyes underwater without a mask. As long as I open them just very slightly, the lenses stay in place and I can see as well as anyone underwater indefinitely. Some people may tell you something about bubbles forming under the lenses during deco, but if that ever happened, you'd have more serious things to worry about than your contact lenses! -Mike Rodriguez <mikey@ma*.co*> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
