I am starting my second go around with scuba lessons tomorrow, the 24th of September. My first was 25 years ago, so instead of taking a refresher course, I opted for the full-deal package. It doesn't hurt that I am taking it with a good friend (buddy?).
My question has to do with the fact that I wear contacts all the time except for sleeping. Is it feasible to carry a back-up mask in case I totally loose the primary. I was kinda thinking that by carrying a back-up mask, I could slip that on so I would be able to see, and then look for the primary.
If it is feasible, what would be the best way to carry it so it wouldn't get tangled with something. Also, in the same line, is it feasible to somehow attach the primary mask to something on the BCD or tank in such a way that it could be recovered fairly easily and still not get tangled with other gear or something else.
Any ideas out there?
