How the course works

  1. No eLearning. Your instructor covers the knowledge part with you in person, on the day.
  2. Gear orientation and dry practice. How the mask works, fitting it, adjusting it and checking the seal before you get wet.
  3. Confined water. You practice every skill in calm water first, before going to the ocean.
  4. Two open water dives. Putting it all together on two training dives with your instructor.

What you learn

  • How a full face mask works and how it’s different from a regular mask
  • Fitting, putting it on, adjusting it and seal checks
  • Equalizing with the built-in nose block
  • Regulator sensitivity, air flow and breathing
  • Clearing a partial or full flood, and taking the mask off and back on underwater
  • Switching to a standard mask and alternate air source
  • Handling out-of-air and free-flow situations
  • Pre-dive checks, care after the dive and basic maintenance

Before you come

  • Bring your certification card and a dive computer, or rent one when you book.
  • Bring your scuba gear: BCD, regulator, standard mask, snorkel and fins. No gear? Add rental when you book. If you don’t own a full face mask, we provide one.
  • Bring a swimsuit, a towel, sun protection and dry clothes. There are no restrooms right at the site, so make a stop before you arrive.
  • Arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and fitting. The meeting point and directions are in your confirmation email.
  • Weather and ocean conditions can affect the schedule.

Full Face Mask questions

Do I need my own full face mask?

No. If you don’t own one, we provide a full face mask for the training.

How much does it cost?

From $450 per person, plus tax, with the full face mask included. There’s no eLearning to buy. Rental gear is $35 and a dive computer is $10, plus tax, if you need them.

Is it harder than diving with a regular mask?

Not really, it’s just different. You practice every skill in confined water before you go to the ocean.

What if the mask floods?

You learn how to handle a partial and a full flood, and how to take the mask off and put it back on underwater.

What if there’s an equipment or air problem?

You train to switch from the full face mask to a standard mask and alternate air source, and how to handle a free-flow.

Does it count toward Master Scuba Diver?

Yes. It counts as one of the required specialty certifications.
