The Scuba Doctor swim goggle range features great choices for racing/competitive, training/recreation and junior/kids goggles to ensure the needs of all swimmers of all types are looked after.
The Scuba Doctor believes that each swimmer's face is unique so a range needs to have enough depth and each goggle posses unique positive attributes in its own right, to ensure each swimmer can find a goggle that has a fit right for themselves. So while goggles in the range can be similar they will never be identical.
We also have Prescription/Corrective/Optical Lens Swimming Goggles so that you can have a solution that lets you see better in the water. Prescription Swim Goggles are for swimmers who use eye glasses on a day to day basis. Prescription goggles are basically the same as ordinary swimming goggles, but with special correction optical lenses that are interchangeable.
Note: Swimming Goggles are very different to Scuba Diving Masks and Snorkelling Masks. See Goggles vs Masks.
Goggle Lens Options Explained
Not sure which swimming goggle lens option is best suited for you? This guide may help!
Amber Lens: Offers excellent vision in high as well as low light environments as they reduce glare and amplify darker locations too.
Clear Lens: Provides natural light, perfect for overcast, low light conditions, or murky open water when you need clearer visibility.
Mirrored Lens: Ideal for extremely bright environments as they reflect the light away from your eyes.
Smoked Lens: The best option for high light level conditions, such as the sun. Smoked lenses offer protection in the same way that sunglasses do for your eyes.
South Point
Reef Dive | Boat access
Depth: 5 m (16 ft) to 50 m (164 ft)
Level: Advanced Open Water and beyond.
South Point is an interesting diving and snorkelling site at the southern end of Wilsons Promontory, facing south into the often wild seas of Bass Strait, It's located within the Wilsons Promontory Marine National Park. It's a very rewarding dive site for adventurous divers and snorkellers.
Diving and Snorkelling at South Point
South Point is an exposed location which offers a shallow bay on the western side that's an easy dive or snorkel on weed-covered boulders. There is much flotsam and shipwreck debris in the area and some interesting small photographic subjects.
If you head south from the tip of South Point the terrain quickly descends to 50 metres deep.
Ideal Conditions: South Point is best dived with calm seas, no swell and no wind. Light offshore south-westerly to westerly winds may be acceptable. Avoid diving with moderate to strong onshore south-easterly to south-westerly winds. Because of the depths that can be reached here, plus the sometimes strong currents, Fenwick Bight is best dived at slack water. See WillyWeather (South Point) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.
Bass Strait Warning: Always keep an eye on sea conditions throughout any shore or boat dive in Bass Strait on Victoria's coastline. Please read the warnings on the web page diving-in-bass-strait before diving or snorkelling this site.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
