Yes, you can. My husband and I have been diving for many years, and he does this. Also, you can have your mask customized to you lens prescription. If you have dive-related questions, just call your local scuba shop. Also, you may want to look at www.padi.com.

You can do it, but I wouldn't suggest it. If you've ever taken a SCUBA diving class you'll know that there are some emergency procedures that involve you removing your mask and replacing it. Now wearing the contacts isn't dangerous, but if you ever have to remove your mask underwater you WILL lose those contacts. If you're adamant about diving I suggest you invest in a maks with prescription lenses.

Its not advisable because water can seep through or if ur contact comes loose - well then ur screwed - but there are prescription masks u can get - they cost around 60-80 bucks which are like the prescription sports googles except for diving

Normally when scuba diving, people also wear goggles, so what you wear under those doesn't matter if you need them to see.

Yes as long as your eyes are not in the water. Incase your goggles fill with water, I would take a pair of glasses in your emergency diving pack.

Yes, it's fine. I swim at the beach in heavy surf with mine, no problem. And don't worry about the pressure when you dive. It does not bother your contact lenses.

I certainly would not advise it... no matter how good your mask is you are going to get some water in it... i suggest perscription goggles.. that way your guaranteed the beautiful view without the stress of losing your contacts in the salt water

You can, but its not the best idea. If you do, make sure that you are wearing extra good goggles.

Yes you can. But, it is recommended that you have lenses put in your mask.
