There is a no fly time after scuba diving, due to the increased risk of Decompression Sickness (DCS) while flying. It is recommended that you do not fly for 12 hours, if you have completed 1 dive. If you have done 2 dives, you should not fly for at least 18 hours.
If you wear glasses, the most common option to dive would be to wear contact lenses. Another option would be to get a prescription mask, which has your prescription lens built into the mask. It's a little more expensive, but would be the most comfortable way of diving.
The diving spot will vary since it is dependant on each diver and on the weather.
