Can You Snorkel with Glasses? Here’s What to Know

For many glasses wearers, preparing for a snorkeling trip raises an important query: can you snorkel with glasses? With the right approach, it is without a doubt possible to enjoy snorkeling while maintaining safety standards. The matter is more intricate than simply answering ‘yes’ or ‘no.’

Why Wearing Double Eyewear Snorkeling Glasses Doesn’t Work

The ordinary snorkeling glasses do not accommodate prescription eyewear—be it sunglasses or conventional spectacles. Because of gaps created due to the glasses, water enters the mask. Additionally, the spectacles might either get broken due to the pressure of the mask, or make the snorkeling experience unsafe.

How Do You Snorkel with Glasses?: Corrective Step Submitted

• Customized Snorkel Mask Lenses

With such a goggle, you can see underwater as clearly as you would above. To aid you in enjoying your snorkeling to the fullest, we at Maui Adventure Tours Kayak Co provide a range of prescription masks suitable to your requirements.

• Standard Mask with Contacts

Soft contact lenses are often worn by most snorkelers under their masks as it provides both ease with the mask seal and improves vision. Mask-lens floods pose a rare risk of lens retrieval, thus moderation is advised.

• Inserts and Lens Kits

Certain snorkeling masks can be fitted with interchangeable lens inserts that are made to specific strengths. These inserts serve as an economical substitute to custom prescription snorkeling masks.

• Sketching Your Own DIY – Not Suggested

Regular snorkel masks or small glasses frames are often modified, thereby diminishing the comfort and safety balance, which is often rejected by professionals.
