This is my first time on this board, but this subject caught my eye. I just started diving and recently purchased a waterproof mascara that was cheap and worked really well. Try Physician's Formula Aquawear. It's about $4.00. Mine stayed on for 2 days!!!

Scubababe and Scubaguy62, word of advice from someone who knows, this board does not support or like public display of support, affection, or appreciation by SOs.
Back on Topic: Waterproof Mascara
I have posted warnings of my Medusa hair and drowning cat look when diving because I don't put on my make-up to go diving. (I know I am a cross between tom-boy and Barbie. Hey I wonder if Mattel has considered -- Tom-boy Barbie. Heehee) However, I have jumped at the opportunity to do an unscheduled dive and worn make-up and been flogged here on this very board because I posted that I didn't want to do an OOA drill because I didn't want to get my mascara in my eyes -- that burns. So everyone's gonna voice opinions about diving with make-up and without.
I have tried waterproof mascara for various reasons, rainy days, weddings, televised or photographed competition involving any activity that could cause mascara to run and make a mess... etc. and I have found that Maybelline and Estee Lauder make great waterproof mascara. There is a definite price difference but performance is very close to the same. BUT, as stated before, you need to use a remover to get it off.
I will tell you that the other day, I went on a last minute dive and didn't have time to remove my make-up, I just wanted to go dive. I already had on Maybeline Wonder Curl Mascara not waterproof and I had used powdered eye shadow for eyeliner just like I usually do. I was very conscious about the possibility of having mascara running down my face so I did take my hands and wipe but I didn't have much on my finger when I did so. Once I finished my dive and left, I was surprised to find that my liner was still there and looking very good might I ad and I had on most of my mascara; and, if I had not wiped I probably would have had more on without a problem. I was surprised. I had gotten some sun the day before so my face looked sun kissed and my eyeliner and lashes were not washed away. And, my mask wasn't on the whole time. I had to start off warming up by swimming laps and during parts of the dive I had to do mask removal. At the time I really didn't care if I had raccoon eyes or not. I was diving and that's what mattered.
I will say this, I do think about safety first and I have "tested" my make-up in the shower to see if it is going to burn my eyes or be a safety hazard in the event I do a spur of the moment dive to make sure that I will not have a safety issue because of it. If it is a problem in the shower, I don't use it because safety is more important while diving than wearing makeup or worrying if the makeup your wearing looks good or not.

au contraire, mon frere... or soeur, actually... er...
we being a family-oriented board support people in their
love and affection for each other, whether they be
married or not... also, you may show affection for your
pets, plants, and even third cousins...
but the key words there are "family-oriented"
OK my dear,
I did an experiment this weekend. I put on Maybelline Waterproof Lash Expansion mascara and Maybelline Waterproof Lineworks Ultra-liner Saturday morning. I wore it all day, did two dives and it did NOT come off or run. But you do need a waterproof eye make-up remover to get it off. So there. If you are interested. Go get some and try it out. Not expensive really for what you are looking for. It really did work.
To me, it felt a little odd to go diving and come out with eye make-up on.
Suggestion though... if you are not used to putting on liquid eye liner, practice or you will look like a raccoon without going diving. Note, you can't blend it. Once you touch the eye liner to your eye it's where you touched. Hope that helps. R
