    looking at buying a pair of swimming goggles just for dips in the sea. Was just gonna go for non-tinted but just wondering what the pros/cons of either might be?

    Tinted would help you if the sun was in your eyes if your were sighting. But for dips as you say, clear would be grand.

    I would recommend a pair of each in the same style.

    The style of course is your preference and whatever fits you best but if it is a dull day when you get to your swim slip the clear ones on, if sunny then tinted.

    It also gives the extra benefit of a backup pair if one brakes (or you forget them!!)

    If you can, get both - tints and non-tints.
    Swimming into the sun without tints makes sighting difficult while on the other hand, swimming in the dark with tints also makes it hard sighting.

    I find the blue tint is a happy medium.

    thanks all for the helpful info. One question though...... What's sighting? just seeing where you're going?

    Open Water technique of looking where your going while still swimming - not needed in a pool thanks to blank lines :)
