Full Face Mask Diver

Instead of asking yourself, “Why dive using a full face or integrated mask”, perhaps you should be asking: Why not?

Sometimes conservativism can obscure advantages that would substantially improve our activities. We are resistant to change. Yet if we open our minds we realize something else exists beyond what we’ve become used to using or doing. Now you can extend your diving with a full face or integrated diving mask.

Requirements

 Open Water Divers who are at least 15 years old, and with at least 10 logged dives after being certified, can enroll in the Full Face Mask Diver course.

​The Learning

During a pool session and two scuba dives you’ll learn to:

  • Develop your practical knowledge of full face and integrated mask diving.

  • Dive with a full face and integrated diving mask.

  • Plan, organize, and make full face and integrated diving mask dives.

  • Handle problems that could occur while diving with a full face and integrated diving mask.

  • Improve your diving skills.

​

Also, the first dive of this course may credit as an Adventure Dive toward your Advanced Open Water Diver certification – ask us about earning credit.

Important Medical Information

For your safety and to avoid delays in your course:

Download and Print the Diver Medical Form

Carefully read the form and answer the Medical History Questions honestly.​
 If you can answer "Yes" to question 3, 5, or 10, OR any question on page 2, then written clearance to dive, without restrictions, from a physician is required prior to any in-water activities. Immediately do the following:​

  • Take or send all 3 pages of the form to your physician (MD or DO).

  • Ask your physician to complete the PHYSICIAN section on Page 3 of the form and return the form to you.
    Student Divers who are professional physicians may not sign for approval on their own medical form.

  • Make a copy of the completed form and put it in a safe place. You may need it in the future.

  • Bring the completed original form to your first course session.

  • Give your completed Diver Medical Form to your instructor at your first course session. Otherwise, your training will be delayed.​

​For questions regarding your fitness to scuba dive, please speak with your physician. You and/or your physician can also speak with Diving Medicine Specialists at Divers Alert Network at no charge. Contact the Divers Alert Network (DAN) non-emergency medical information line at 919-684-2948 (Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm CT). Referrals to local diving and hyperbaric medicine specialists are available.

If you have a copy of this form signed by a physician within 12 months prior to the expected completion date of your course, and your medical history has not changed, then you may provide a copy of it to your instructor. Otherwise, you will need to complete a new form.
