PADI Full Face Mask Diver Specialty

See More. Breathe Naturally. Communicate Underwater.

The PADI Full Face Mask Diver specialty course introduces divers to an exciting alternative to traditional scuba masks and regulators. Full face masks allow you to breathe through both your nose and mouth, stay warmer in cooler water, and can be used with underwater communication systems—making them popular for recreational, scientific, and professional diving applications.
