Good Afternoon all!
I have been diving for a few years, working towards getting my dive instructor and recently dove in on getting a full face mask.
I am a VERY cautious diver, probably overly so. Everything on my kit has fail safes, most of it several. On top of that, if something is off or isn't working right I call it for the day no matter how small. This was actually one of my larger perks to FFM, odds of mask coming off are next to zero. So the potential of the whole remove and replace skill is very low for me as it isn't coming off unless the regulator went in which case it would be my secondary and im out for the day. Not putting that mask back on and trying again.
After getting the mask I went to pool, did the basics... flooding, adjusting flow, free flow etc... and have been logging dives in it ever since.
My large question here is did you do the skills class for FFM? Is there many valid reasons to do so or just a money grab for a cert?
Thanks for thoughts! I am new hear and love hearing peoples opinions on this stuff.
