I'm about to take scuba diving classes for the first time and I was wondering if someone could answer a couple questions for me:

1. I'm extremely nearsited. I don't have a stigmatism so it's easy enough for me to get corrective lenses. However, I've heard that it's not always necessary to get a mask with corrective lenses since the mask will magnify objects. Should I invest in the corrective lenses anyway?

2. Although I plan on trying on equipment at the local store before I buy, can anyone recommend an online dive shop with reasonable prices? The place I'm taking the class at has a store but the prices seem higher than what I've been seeing online.

Thanks for your help!
