Full Face Mask specialty scuba certification

The Full Face Scuba Specialty certification class is designed for scuba divers looking to enhance their underwater capabilities and overall diving experience. Full-face masks are commonly used by working scuba divers, such as public safety divers, because they protect the eyes and nose from contaminants, provide comfort in cold water, and enable communication. If you are interested in public safety diving, scientific diving, or exploring extremely cold waters, learning to dive with a full face mask is highly beneficial. These masks are also ideal for those who have difficulty using standard scuba masks, as they allow for natural breathing through the nose. Diving with a full face mask offers a unique experience, making it worth trying. This specialty certification class focuses on the advantages of full face masks over traditional scuba masks and regulators. Here's an overview of what the class typically entails:

• Increased Comfort: Full face masks cover the entire face, reducing water leakage and providing greater warmth in colder waters.
• Improved Communication: Many full face masks come with communication systems that allow divers to talk to each other and to the surface, enhancing safety and coordination.
• Enhanced Field of Vision: These masks offer a wider field of vision, providing a more immersive diving experience.
• Breathing Comfort: Divers can breathe naturally through their nose and mouth, which can be more comfortable and reduce jaw fatigue compared to a traditional regulator.

• Pool Sessions: Initial practice in a controlled environment, such as a swimming pool, where divers can get comfortable with the mask, practice buoyancy control, and handle basic underwater tasks.
• Open Water Dives: Conducting a series of open water dives to apply the skills learned in the pool. These dives focus on real-world scenarios, such as navigation, communication, and emergency drills.

• Mask Clearing: Techniques for clearing water from the full face mask.
• Emergency Procedures: Responding to potential issues like mask flooding or regulator failure.
• Communication: Using integrated communication systems effectively.
• Maintenance: Proper care and maintenance of the full face mask to ensure longevity and reliability.

Upon successful completion of the course, divers receive a Full Face Scuba Specialty certification. This certification demonstrates that the diver is proficient in the use of full face masks and has the skills necessary to safely and effectively use this equipment in various diving conditions.
