Full Face Mask Certification

Home Advanced Scuba Diving Courses Full Face Mask Course

Obtaining your full-face mask certification (FFM) opens up a new diving experience unlike any you’ve had before. Having an increased field of vision, being able to breathe through your nose, or just looking like an awesome diver are all reasons why divers love diving with a FFM. While it’s easy to learn how to use, we highly recommend taking our class to familiarize yourself with the intricacies of diving your FFM.

What to expect in this course:

You’ll work directly with your instructor to learn how to flood, clear, remove, replace, & handle emergency scenarios underwater while wearing your FFM. You’ll learn your basic skills (removing, replacing, & clearing your mask) in confined water before moving into open water.  Once in open water, you’ll demonstrate these skills to your instructor and get to experience all the benefits & different buoyancy characteristics of diving with a FFM.

  • The certified diver looking for more information about the different full face masks available & how to determine the correct one to meet their needs
  • Certified divers who want to communicate better underwater
  • Certified divers who dive in colder water & would benefit from a dry face
