Why Learn to Dive with a Full Face Mask?
Full face masks offer a unique and practical dive experience. They're commonly used by working divers, like public safety and scientific teams, due to their ability to seal out contaminants, retain warmth, and enable underwater communication. If you've ever struggled with a standard mask, are a nose breather or plan to dive in extreme conditions, this course is a great fit.
What You’ll Learn:
- Instructor led theory and saftey presentation on Full Face Mask Diving
-
Key features and types of full face masks
-
How to properly prepare, adjust, and maintain the mask
-
Clearing water from the mask and making adjustments underwater
-
How to respond to out-of-air emergencies while wearing the mask
Training starts with a confined water session to build confidence and skill before progressing to two open water dives, where you'll demonstrate practical use of the mask in real-world scenarios.
Equipment Requirements:
You'll need your standard scuba gear, plus a full face mask compatible with your regulator, and an alternate air source. Being able to dive comfortably in a Drysuit is recommended.
The PADI Edge:
With over five decades of experience, PADI continues to lead global dive training and safety standards. The Full Face Mask Diver course is part of this legacy—designed for divers who want to expand their skill set and explore the underwater world with greater comfort and versatility.
