Full Face Mask Diver
The Course
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.

Important Medical Information
