Upgrade Your Experience: The Full Face Mask Advantage

Why start at the bottom when you can start at the top? Transform your certification into a premium experience by upgrading to a Full Face Mask. It eliminates the common discomforts of traditional gear, letting you focus purely on the wonder of the underwater world.

   

The 3 Key Benefits

  • Breathe Naturally & See Everything Forget biting down on a mouthpiece or dealing with a foggy mask. With a Full Face Mask, you breathe naturally through your nose and mouth. Plus, the 180° panoramic design gives you a cinematic, fog-free view of the ocean that traditional masks simply can't match.

  • Unmatched Security & Peace of Mind Train with the same gear used by public safety divers. The integrated regulator design means your air source is always secure and your face stays dry, providing an extra layer of confidence as you take your first breaths underwater.

  • Exclusive "Explorer" Pricing We believe every diver deserves the best start. That’s why we offer this $350 advanced specialty for just $125 when you bundle it with your Open Water Experience. You save $225 and start your diving journey with a distinct advantage.
