I too scubaed (sic) with them and loved it; BUT I have read that it is possible to do damage to your eye by SCUBA diving with lenses. I don't remember exactly, but it had something to do with gases disoving in the tears beneath the contacts - anyone know anything about this? Does it go for soft (or as I have now perma) lenses as well ? Aaron S. Cohen
