I strongly envisage to buy the famous paradisia since I want to protect my nose from water....

I can imagine using it in dynamic apnea with goggles....

but in constant weight, what about the goggles ?

if these goggles have to be filled with water, what is the use of them ? isn't it more simple to have naked eyes ?
 
I know of 4 options that can be used with a nose clip during constant weight:

Pipe mask (search for it on Deeperblue):
Essentially swimming goggles that can be equalized with air from the mouth over a tube. Or as a alternative by a attached sufficient large balloon like rubber air reservoir.
Relatively cheap, full vision and eye protection and a small mask to equalize.

Fluid goggles (usually used with special fluid):
More expensive but no equalization needed.
Eyes are protected from debris, sea life, pollutants, wrong saline content and you can still see underwater.

Apnea lenses:
Expensive and no equalization needed.
You can see underwater and your eyes still have some protection.

Naked eyes:
Cheap but only very bad vision possible and no protection for the eyes.

Your choice might depend on budget but mainly on if you want/need to be able to see underwater and how well you want to protect your eyes. Hope this gave you some ideas. :hmm :blackeye :waterwork
