Nearsighted Prescription Snorkel Mask

Edited By : kelly d Tue, 10 Apr 2007 23:07:13 -0400

My husband and I made the investment a few years ago of snorkel masks with nearsighted prescriptions. Not the custom ones with our specific prescriptions, but generic versions from Sport Chalet. They come in -1, - 2 and -3 diopters. If you're blind as a bat like me, it makes the snorkeling so much better! I leave my mask on when I get out of the water or I can't find my way back to my towel/the boat/the beach/whatever! They run about $75.

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the tip.... we just moved from HB a little over a year ago... sure do miss Sport Chalet!!! (among many other things) !

Looks like we'll just be leaving GC shortly before you arrive.... also staying at the Comfort Suites....

Welcome to the forum!!!

Hey Jack,

Bet you don't miss the traffic and the disgusting ocean water of HB. My husband body surfs, and drives all the way to San Clemente because HB's water is so gross!

Comfort Suites seems like a decent location without the waterfront price. I don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room. Any advice on inexpensive food joints near the hotel? We're not big on fancy meals either!
