        Ok, I have a question.  I wear contacts normally and do all or most
of my recriatinal diving with them in, as I do not have a prescription
mask.  They help a lot under water and I really don't like to dive without
some kind of visual correction.  I also wear them wehen doing more advanced
diving, and have never had a mask flood with them in, I know if I open my
eyes durring a mask flood they'll come out though.  My question is, does
any one have an expirence with getting flooded with contacts in?...what if
somehow they slip partially out of your eye? I have a feeling this could
cause problems, so should I just invest in a prescription mask or can I
continue to use my contacts?
        On a side not, I'v seen people dive with their mask straps under
their hoods, how is this advantagious? Does it prevent the mask from coming
completely off in case it is struck by something such as a buddies fin?
anyway, thanks!

safe diving
