We never would want to skip seeing the whole of underwater world.
To clearly explore the life buried underwater, the sun is not an only option to put the abundance of shine.
And complaining about diminishing the vision power down under the sea just because of the sun — you are wrong!
If you have been wearing the glasses, be it your eyesight is slightly effected or badly disturbed, glasses are the ones you should never skip wearing wherever you go.
Swimming down the sea is a super complex task for many, the sudden thrust may turn it loose and detach from your eyes. But again, this is the practice we would never recommend to keep the glasses on during your sea swim.
How to Snorkel with Glasses On!
We cannot bear to advise not to wear the glasses during the snorkel.
But it looks so odd to wear a snorkel mask on top of the glasses.
However, the full face snorkel mask is relatively convenient to wear which glasses on because of its shape.
And the glassy-looking snorkel mask may trigger a challenge to deal — wear the glasses and then wearing the glassy-looking snorkel mask; the double glasses inciting the funny look. 😀
But hey! Do not compromise on the clarity. If you have to must wear it in order to clearly look around, stick with us!
I am Afraid of Wearing the Full Face Snorkel Mask
And, why?
Despite the convenience the full face snorkel mask brings to you for wearing the glasses; the issue is not all would want to actually wear the full face mask at all.
We personally do not like wearing it, or better say afraid to wear.
But the good side of the full face snorkel mask, you can easily wear the glasses without needing to adjust.
The entire full face snorkel mask has plenty of room for a glass to fit in comfortably.
But, the fear part is present and is extremely valid. So, stick with us to find the solutions depending on the snorkel mask types that are available.
Snorkeling with Glasses or Contacts
And this part is simple if you choose the latter option — contact lenses.
Snorkeling with contact lenses is quite easy, just that you have to keep your eyes away from touching the sea water to avoid severe rash.
Wearing the snorkel mask gets your eyes fully covered, so you find no way/leaks entering the water inside the mask.
But again, glasses is the complex act especially for the new snorkelers.
Being no used to of this practice, the initial attempts would give severely-odd feel but wearing the glasses is the only way around to get used to of it.
While we deal with the aforementioned situation, there is one more (kinda problem) awaiting for us to bang hard.
And it relates to the fitment — not all the snorkel masks may come exactly as the fit according to your glasses’ dimensions.
The only solution seems to be having an average-sized glass for the sake of wearing the glass-looking snorkel mask.
Got an oversized glass up on your face? Gosh! please, do not do that!! There is nothing we can do about it!!
However snorkeling without glasses is stress-free experience, and we can sense how the people would be loving it — just wear the snorkel mask and you are on! 🙂

Not as long as you are underwater, the loose glasses may trigger the panic. So, never skip wearing the right and good fitting glass. Not too tight as well.
