Prescription Goggles?

[shipknotshore]

Hi. We plan on doing some snorkeling and the Stingray City tour. Problem....DH has glasses and cannot see very well without them. Does anyone know if they rent prescription goggles here? We know they make them as we've rented them before (in Hawaii) just don't know if they're available elsewhere too. Thank you for your replies and any suggestions.

Well, I'll take a stab. Prescription masks can be purchased from around $60 and up, which is one option.

 

The two dive shops I know of in the immediate area of the tender docks are Abanks and Eden Rock. You can try emailing them to see what they might have and how much. Allow enough time before and after any tour and/or last tender to pick up/return.

You can try emailing the popular Stingray tours of your choice to see if they have or could arrange for.

And in case you really meant googles instead of mask:

I just purchased prescription goggles for myself, bhubby and daughter. If you spend some time at the beach/pool etc it might be better to buy them. They run about $25 per pair.

hubby bought his percription mask( used twice) on ebay from a guy who got vision correction surgery. Cost him $12 with shipping. Masks seemed to go very cheap, people looking for others who could really use them. Not the trying to make a buck like other ebay items.

cheap trick to try is take an old pair of glasses and remove the arms. Then just place them inside the mask and you have a makeshift prescription mask. Just a thought.

I have gotten to the point that it is almost unsafe for me to be in the water without glasses. Ive just ordered my snorkel mask form www.snorkel-mart.com They are like 60.00 if in stock and my vision is really bad and they were able to work with me. I wish I would have done this along time ago.

My wife ordered a perscription mask from the same people just before our cruise and was very pleased.

Thank you for your replies. I'll let DH take control now and get what he needs...you have provided some great info.

I wear disposable contact lens without any problems, I use them for the week, cleaning and disinfecting them as usual. When my snorkeling is done I throw them out. I use these for snorkeling only. I've never had a problem snorkeling in them....which I believe is not recommended for diving.
