Diving with goggles

I'm probably just as blind as you are in the water. (I use prescription goggles for lap swimming. The strongest available off-the-shelf, non-custom goggles get me about half my vision back as compared to my glasses.) But I have never considered using goggles for diving. I'm too afraid they'll injure my eyes or sockets or something. Besides, (at least at every pool I've ever dived at), they don't allow a diver to go until the previous diver has cleared the area to the ladder. I'm not worried about running into other swimmers when I dive because I trust that there aren't any in there when I go. (And if there is one, whether I can see him or not won't matter when I land on him!) And even with my poor eyesight, I can still see color and blobs of shapes to know that something or someone is coming up. I have complete empathy for your underwater vision issues, but my advice is to ditch the idea of diving with goggles.
