👓Prescription masks

We get a lot of questions regarding prescription lens. First, The water itself will provide a +1 magnification and may make a prescription unnecessary. Alternatively, masks with reader as part of the mask are available. Additionally, contacts may be worn with a mask. However, if these options do not work for you, we recommend checking out this link https://diving-mask.com/springadventures for single vision and multi focus lens for most mask brands. Even if you wear contacts in your mask, a prescription mask can be a good backup choice to carry with you underwater in case your contacts get washed out.

Please understand the refunds are not available regardless of the reason. This is due to upfront costs for eLearning and lost opportunity for booking other parties on the date you reserved. We will reschedule once, up to a year from the registration of your eLearning at no cost, up to 48 hours prior to your scheduled training. Additional rescheduling will incur a $100 charge per student.
