How do you stop your scuba goggles from hurtting your forehead?

Answer 1

First, in American parlance, "goggles" refer to lenses that fit the eyes but don''t cover the nose. If this is the device you're talking about, you cannot use it for Scuba. The nose has to be covered so that you can equalize air pressure in the mask with outside water pressure. Next, you shouldn't ever wear your mask on your forehead. If you're wearing it, it needs to be over your eyes or around your neck. Wearing a mask on your forehead is a great way to lose a mask -- annoying on the boat and dangerous in-water. FInally, if you mean your forehead hurts when you're wearing your mask on your eyes, it sounds like you have the strap too tight. Do this at HOME: 1. Loosen the strap so it doesn't hold the mask on at all. 2. Press the mask onto your face and inhale. If the mask sticks to your face for 10 or more seconds, great --- it fits. If it readily falls off, this mask doesn't fit you. Go get a mask that does fit (using steps 1 and 2 at the dive store), and start this procedure again. 3. If you're here, your mask fits. Now, tighten the strap a little, so that the least pressure possible to hold the mask on your face is what you're getting from tyhe strap. Then tighten it just a little more.

Answer 2

To start with Scuba divers do not use goggles, at least not for Scuba diving. We use a mask. There is no way to equalize the pressure in swimming goggles and the deeper you go the more they hurt. Good quality masks can be purchased at any dive store and some lesser quality but usable masks can be had at most big box stores like K-Mart or Walmart. Good quality rubber or silicone is what you need, split strap and fully adjustable.
