New to Diving

[TMarsland]

Hey all, my name is Tom and my wife is Jennifer. I'm in the Navy and we just got stationed on O'ahu, Hawai'i for the next 3-5 years and decided to get certified to dive. We start our classes on Monday for a week and then we will be OWD certified. We are extremely excited, and can't wait to begin!

Just saying aloha!

Welcome to SB and best luck with the OW certification!

 

[TMarsland]

Thanks to all for the kind hellos. After we finish OW we plan on doing advanced, then a few specialties at least, depending of course on how much we like it. So far it looks like it's going to be great.

One question though. I currently have extremely poor eyesight and wear contacts. Any tips to manage this slight issue?

Thanks.

Hi Tom & Jen,
First, welcome to SB and welcome to Diving! Second, thank you for the work you do for our country!
Depending on your contacts, you may be able to wear them while diving. Your best bet however is to get your prescription put into your mask. There are many ways of doing this. Check with your LDS and see what they can offer.
Take care and safe diving.
