FULL FACE MASK DIVER - $325 US

The full face diving mask is a type of diving mask that seals the diver's entire face from the water and contains a mouthpiece and a demand valve that provides the diver with the air to breathe.

Diving with a full face mask allows you to breathe through your nose and mouth. You don't have to keep the regulator mouthpiece between your teeth which makes breathing easier and more comfortable. You can say goodbye to those days of jaw fatigue since there is no need to maintain an oral grip.

The mask fits snuggly on your face which decreases the probability of accidentally getting knocked off, especially while diving in confined places especially tunnels and wrecks. No water is bound to get in so leaks will be less likely of a concern.

A full face mask further provides an added element of safety. If a full face mask diver become unconscious underwater, the breathable air space assists in rescue. Hopefully, that never happens to you but one very good reason to use a full face mask.

It is also great for those divers that just can't seem to find a mask that fits their face, those divers with the inability to securely hold a regulator in their mouth, those wanting a greater field of vision or for those divers simply just wanting to try something different. Whatever your reason, you're are going to love the experience.
