⌛ Prescription Dive Masks

Any one know where one can obtain prescription Dive masks locally? Im near sighted -2.50. Thanks Gary

 

Hi Gary, I don't think the diveshops here have them in stock, but I know that they can be ordered from Cebu.

cheers

rhoody, since you guys here are talking of divemask, is there a possibility to secure or buy a dive mask in dumaguete that-is somewhat anti-fog? or can you recommend a brand of dive mask that is less prone for fog,

thnks

 

there are quite good masks available in different locations. I always recommend Mikes diveshop at the Boulevard cause he is just a great guy and has quality for a good price , not the Chinese copys of a Taiwanese product. (gives also sometimes discount for DI members)
Mikes Adventure Dive Shop just give him a call or txt to make sure he is around...
If you buy a new mask it has usually a silicon layer inside. you take some toothpaste (or even Tide) and clean it inside properly before you use it the first time. If you have a black-silicon mask you also can burn the layer out with a lighter.
Another reason for fogging could be cream or sun-lotion in the face.
before each dive you spit in it, use artificial spit or the oil of Papaya leaves. that keeps a good Mask fog-free...

cheers

Thanks Rhoody

 

Rhoody, thanks for your response. Thinking all the places ive snorkled around the world and not really seeing in clarity, thought I would purchase the subject mask. Any information where a prescription mask can be ordered or purchased would be appreciated. Gary
