PADI - Full Face Mask Diver
Take your diving to the next level with the Full Face Mask Diver specialty. This course introduces you to a completely different way of diving using a full face mask system that allows natural breathing through both your nose and mouth, increased comfort, and the potential for underwater communication.
Used by public safety and professional divers, full face masks provide added warmth in cold water, protection from the environment, and a more secure breathing system compared to a traditional regulator.
