1. Pretty much any dive shops. Check the first page for a list of dive shops and their location. It's more important for you to find the perfect mask fit instead.
2. Some people do use this to swim but I find it really uncomfortable to swim with. Prescription goggles aren't that expensive.
3. I would suggest just go with contact lens since your power is 500. There is the risk of losing your specs to the sea and be pretty much blind for the rest of your day/trip unless you always carry a spare. I also hated when I had to switch between specs and masks for me to be able to see clearly on the boat, especially if it's a small boat. Sometimes it can get very busy and messy on a small dive boat and there's no fun protecting your specs from dangers in such situation.

I know plenty who dive with contacts with no issues. imran85 tend to lose his contacts underwater, maybe his eyes too big hahah. In the end, it's a personal preference. I suggest you try with the contacts first, definitely go for dailies and only dailies, use and throw at the end of the day, and if you do not like it, then invest in the prescription mask.
He's not evil, it's compulsory, part of the course for your wife and her sister to be certified.

My instructor made me remove completely and open my eyes underwater too. I've open eyes with and without contacts before. When without contacts, it actually feels pretty good. But with contacts, need to be careful cannot open too big, and it's not very comfortable. Not advisable to open eyes when wearing contacts and also not advisable to do so with or without contacts in swimming pool, heard might get infected.

hahaha recent dive trip on one of the dives I lost both contacts immediately when descending as water hit eyes during mask clearing. Then on another dive left eye lost contacts.... I still took some decent pics.. I think.. haha rclxs0.gif

Hi guys, newbie diver here. Finally logged my 11th dive! Woohoooo

Wanna ask, any cheap dive bag solutions? Durable yet affordable, but inconspicuous so as to not let airasia catch me with gear inside.

Many thx!

Darn. Good suggestion. But kenot check that in flight without risking the gear.

How about bag brands? Midrange but durable? inb4 samsonite/american tourister 1k+ luggages
