Visiting our Scuba World Diving Center in Agia Marina, Chania, Crete. There, the instructor, will answer all your questions and by attending the program “ Discover Scuba Diving” you will get some theoretical knowledge and take a dive in confined water (a body of water with pool-like conditions, such as off a calm beach).

No stress, there is no risk, you just need to know few rules and everything will be ok. First of all before diving tell your instructor that you are wearing contact lens. However better chose soft contact lens. Moreover, do not fear eyes infection, the risk is less than 1/10000. If after your dive you get red and itchy eyes, do not hesitate to go and see you ophthalmologist. In the case your eyes are really dry after the immersion, just use eye drops to release your discomfort. Another solution is to buy a mask equipped with correctives glass. But be careful, those mask are quite fragile, so be sure to have a spare just in case.
