Full Face Mask DIver
Breathing through your mouth was only the beginning.
Full Face Mask (FFM) divers reap rewards a standard regulator & mask cannot offer. Breathe through your nose, chat with your buddy & bid farewell to mask fogging thanks to the entire mask being exposed to the cool dry air from your tank. Take your diving to the next level and become a FFM Diver.

Frequently Asked Questions

Certified diver. Minimum age is 15. Junior certification for ages 10-14 years is allowed.
You must register & complete a waiver for the weekend with Gilboa. That waiver can be found here. Gilboa also charges admission fees per day, details can be found here. When you arrive, staff will be onsite to assist you with signing in & answering questions. Your waiver should be complete before arrival. When you check in you will need to pay for the number of days of diving as laid out in the course session detail as well as purchase any needed air fill tokens so your tanks can be refilled if required. Food & coffee is typically available but we recommend packing something easy for lunch. Bring a swimsuit, you will get wet on this ride (yes, someone forgot this once).

Sure, why the hell not. We will just tell the other students that your schedule is our highest priority [do you hear the sarcasm?]. No, these are public classes with set schedules, however, if you do need an experience that matches your schedule, private instruction is available for an additional cost.
Medical Requirements
We are not doctors, we teach SCUBA
As we cannot answer questions on specific medical conditions or questions, every student must complete a medical statement. Please answer it honestly.
Read the instructions on the form. Your self reported answers will determine if a physician's approval is required prior to diving. Once we receive the notification of your completed waiver, we will contact you if a physicians approval is required.
We are NOT PERMITTED by the training agency to allow any in-water training without physician's approval if such approval is required. We encourage you to complete this form as early as possible to ensure adequate time is available should you need to obtain approval.
