PADI Full Face Mask Instructor – Lead Innovation and Comfort at Diving Academy
At Diving Academy, we train instructors to lead with confidence, knowledge, and advanced gear skills. The PADI Full Face Mask Instructor course gives you everything you need to teach divers how to explore with greater comfort, safety, and communication.
Full face masks are growing in popularity—for good reason. They offer warmer, drier dives, increased field of vision, and the ability to speak underwater when equipped with comm systems. By becoming a PADI Full Face Mask Instructor, you’ll empower your students to level up their diving experience.
Why Add Full Face Mask to Your Specialty Offerings?
This course attracts a wide variety of divers. From recreational enthusiasts to search and recovery teams, many are now interested in this advanced equipment. By teaching this specialty, you’ll position yourself as a forward-thinking dive professional.
Furthermore, this course pairs well with other training like Enriched Air Diver, Dry Suit Diver, or Rescue Diver. That gives you more opportunities to upsell and bundle courses.
Deliver Hands-On, Standards-Based Training
You’ll start by learning how to guide students through full face mask setup, fitting, and proper in-water use. You’ll follow PADI’s General Standards and Procedures, but we also show you how to tailor the course to different diving environments.
In addition, you’ll learn how to manage emergencies, solve common issues, and explain the gear’s advantages in simple, engaging ways.

-
Course planning and presentation
