When I go underwater with a mask I usually use one contact that 
corrects for distance vision; the other eye can see camera settings 
and stuff. Works fairly well, but I had some bad experiences while 
skiing with one lens of my glasses popping out. The different 
information from each eye drove me crazy, and I could hardly ski.
