Full face masks with rebreathers may be used by technical divers or commercial divers. They may contain communication equipment for diver-to-ship contact.
Be aware that full-face masks are more prone to leaks. So you will need certification and open-water training to use this specialized equipment.
Here are some tips for getting the best use out of full-face masks and rebreathers:
- Make sure you buy a mask that fits the contours of your face and has an airtight seal.
- You may want to shave that beard, if you plan to wear a full-face mask. Facial hair can cause the mask to leak.
- Clouding on the lens is normal, so be sure to use an anti-fogger.
- Insert a water trap between you and the scrubber to prevent leaks.
