Thanks Timing,
Contacts had crossed my mind as I know people do dive with them. Having said that dont think contacts would work because of the need for varifocals. I need to have a different prescription to see close things (reading etc) to looking into the distance (normal correction) (something to do with my advancing years!!) and contacts would only be one prescription. Varifocals graduate from the top of the lens to the bottom to allow me to look down (through the bottom part) to read etc and through the middle for normal distance. Bifocals are similar but have two separate prescriptions and are usually more obvious as they have a line across the lens where the prescription changes. I have heard that if you have bifocal lenses while diving, because of the angle you swim at (horizontal rather than upright when walking) the line across can spoil your vision.
Sorry long reply, and thanks again for taking the trouble to respond!
