In this video, Melanie and I try out full-face mask scuba diving for the first time! I'll go over what a full face mask is, how it's different from regular diving, as well as some pros and cons. Stick around to the end of the video and we’ll tell you which mask we liked better, the OTS (Ocean Technology Systems) Guardian or Ocean Reef full face mask. Let me know in the comments below which one you prefer!
EDIT: I am not an expert on these masks or even remotely close to one. This video will be left up because I think it is helpful to those genuinely interested in FFM diving but I will no longer wear one nor will I cover any further topics on the matter due to the high volume of inappropriate attention it receives from the fetish community.

Your list of Pro's mentioned an important safety difference if for any reason a diver becomes unconscious they are safe and can keep breathing with a full face mask. Otherwise if your buddy is not right there you're in trouble.

Tried ffm for the first tine this weekend and found for me I could equalize much easier. Only issue I found that I didnt like with the OTS was I had to watch how I looked around because of free flow. Know the Ocean Reef Neptune 3 exhaust port fixed that issue from what I've seen in review video's.

I recently got FFM certified and bought a secondhand Ocean Reef Predator at less than half what it costs brand new. works really well so far, however I definitely would love to try my luck on an OTS Guardian whenever I get the chance at earliest convenience. The current problem however is there's only one retailer within relatively close distance but they don't sell to sports divers. I think with more dives under my belt and a little bit of experienced salestalk I might be able to convince them but I don't think it will be anytime soon.

I dive the Ocean Reef GDivers FFM with Space Extender. Absolutely love it, and never going back. Everyone says they cost too much, but if you spend $150 on a good mask, and another $400-$500 on a good regulator, you've almost spent the same as the full face mask (at least for the Ocean Reef).

I also have a 1963 jet air regulator and I adapted the exhaust T to screw into the ocean reef full face....man what a beautiful combo breaths great especially with that jet air reg that really delivers air in a wooooosh ram sound. So I'm using my 1963 Jet Air Twin Hose with my fullface! It's a lot like the Kraken Twin Hose!

Did you feel any nick or head discomfort when wearing them? Ocean reef I felt was too heavy so on land, it would pull my head down, but it was so buoyant that in the water, it would push my head up and I had to use my neck to push it back to trim. I didn't have either of these issues with OTS, so I def like that one more.

IME, the OR mask is a better fit for people with longer thinner faces,and the OTS better fitting for people with rounder face shapes.. Small differences but certainly noticeable, worth trying on both if you are going to buy a FFM! (also, the surface valve often gets left open accidentally, but unless you turn upside down or swim really face down, the mask won't flood because the exhaust diaphram is at the lower side of the mask, where water pressure is slightly higher than where the SV sits, so, unless you turn upside down as mentioned, the internal air pressure keeps the SV shut! (Best practice is obvs. to shut any SV before you jump in........ ;-)

Thanks for the added insight! Melanie and I both forgot to shut the surface valve a time or two and can attest that the mask doesn't flood. Just a little bit of water spray on an inhale which is a quick reminder that it was left open. Whoops!

To assist with the extra air loss that you get from a full face mask, I myself prefer a Steel 102 tank with a DIN valve fitting. These tanks can be filled to 4000 PSI. (275 Bar). As opposed to the aluminum 80 tanks, which will only be filled to around 2900 psi (200 bar).

Corollary of this is that in temperate waters like the UK in summer (never mind in winter) the cold shock on doing a ditch of a full face mask is considerable. Practice the skill! Nice vid with info clearly set out. Thanks for posting. In case it is helpful, here is my experience of FFMs: I have dived the OTS Guardian at work and the Kirby Morgan M48 (with the detatchable mouth pod). The OTS Guardian was much nicer. However my own work mask (scientific diver) is the OTS Mantis/Gull Mantis with comms and surface air valve. This uncommon mask allows me to use a nose-pinch to clear my ears, it uses my usual regulator (lower servicing costs and lower equipment cost as I am freelance) and the best bit is I can have the same prescriptions fitted to the lenses as my half mask. So I can see to run cameras, see small beasties for identification and accurate recording, and see distance. The Mantis is also extremely comfortable and almost impossible to flood. It also uses the dry air in the mouth/eye space as anti-fogging.

Nice video thanks for sharing. Sorry not trying to be a poop but let's get basic descriptions of dive components clearly clarified. It not called "a prong piece" its a quick disconnect and a better description would be the "quick disconnect nipple" nipple is a technical term yes. We are speaking about the termination of the low pressure air line connecting to the full face or integrated dive mask regulator. Hope this helps some new divers to better understand the information being provided because "the prong piece" is not standard dive language. You girls get a full pass on the "marshmallow" description of the Ocean Reef nose plugs because that is quite descriptive and a cute descriptor. Don't be discouraged by the Ocean Reef its a very worthy piece of kit and the nose plugs are highly customizable to the divers face. Remember kids when ordering these mask if you shop on line because a lot of local dive shops may not carry them you should do research in advance to see if you can find a qualified instructor to provide instruction directly to the model of integrated mask you eventually purchase. Due to liability insurance reasons dive instructors that offer training for full face mask certification have to have brand and MODEL specific training to the mask you own to even offer the full face integrated dive mask courses. Its all a cost thing for the dive shop they work of so don't be surprised when you can't find a certified dive master to train you on a specific type of full face mask any where close by it happens a lot. These mask are not always high volume sellers so it may be a little sparse finding the training support your looking for local to you. Do your home work you will be better off in the long run.

I’m new to scuba (just got my open water cert this month with my wife on our honeymoon!). I had to hold my nose when filling or removing my mask and breathing through my mouth. I had some anxiety about getting water in my nose otherwise.

It's essentially a non issue. It's almost impossible to keep water in these masks. As soon as you exhale it all gets purged out. I will say though that the nose holding thing should start to go away with more time and comfort. But for other purposes these masks are definitely really cool!

I felt there was too much fussing around to get the full face mask to seal properly. So I returned that hood and just purchased a second Waterproof dive hood and trimmed all the way around the outside perimeter of the my G.Divers Ocean Reef face mask seal. Now when donning the Ocean Reef mask its silicon seal lands and connects directly on my skin for optimal seal every time fuss free with optimal comfort. Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

It's pretty difficult to flood these masks so just slightly knocked loose would probably still clear out on its own as you breathe and adjust it. If it gets knocked off completely then you should switch to your alternate air source and always carry a regular dive mask to switch to

You're pulling air into a larger space. Think of it like breathing off a straw vs breathing like normal. That said, if you're someone who feels more anxious breathing on a reg, you'll probably consume less air in comparison just because this is a more comfortable feeling and you're more relaxed. Hope that makes sense!

It's actually really hard to get water in the mask in the first place! Every time you exhale it all gets forced out the exhaust valve.

What if you have to vomit? How do you clear it out of the mask?
@FullySubmerged
@FullySubmerged Жыл бұрын
What a great question!! The masks do a pretty good job of clearing, it's really difficult to flood them but I'd imagine the chunks and smell would be horrible and you'd have to switch to your regular mask and reg and/or end the dive.

I disagree with one of your cons... From my own ffm experience and others with ffm, new ffm divers will consume more gas. However once they dive enough in ffm the gas consumption is the same.

I would argue that is because they have become more experienced divers or because a FFM makes them more relaxed than being on a regulator.

@@FullySubmerged point being not to mislead people into thinking if I get a full face mask that I will be consuming more gas on my dives. That alone will discourage some divers from even considering a full face mask as an option. A better point to put on the table is to say for those of us diving with perscrption lenses a full face mask such as Ocean Reef can support a set of glasses inside the mask but not likely will you get glued in lenses to the poly carbinet integrated mask making it kind of an extra bit to work with. If your eyesight is poop without correction its a no go if you can't ready our gauges so that is a bigger topic of discussion that needs to be considered. Ocean Reef sells a pair of eyeglass frames look like regular eye glass frame that can be snapped into their full face mask so they have offered a solution. I need to try this and see how the fit and fell works, may be no big deal but now you have two pieces of material to see though hopefully not a pain to deal with... Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter

Gas consumption is just mental. Once your ffm is full, you decide your breathing habits - same as you do with a normal regulator.

If you are doing a shore dive, one usually snorkels out... guess that is out. seems like no snorkel would be a total negative.
@FullySubmerged
@FullySubmerged 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah that's a good point. I suppose you could still back swim with the pressure release valve open. That would keep your face and airway protected from splashing while not using up your air. But it's definitely a more tiring and less efficient way to swim!

You have a surface air valve. In ocean situations with waves this has a disadvantage compared to the snorkel, but still completely useable.

Correct. I probably could have worded that better. I just meant that you have extra protection from aspirating water. Usually the gut reaction when out of air with a reg is to spit it out.
