Successful completion of the Full Face Mask Trainer (FFMT) program provides the Instructor with skills required to improve the students’ ability to select, inspect, prepare, don, and safely dive with a full face mask in an open water setting applicable to their jurisdiction e.g. contaminated waters. Instructors will be able to explain the purpose and benefits of full face mask diving as well as underwater communications (UWC). Obtaining the FFMT certification allows the Instructor to teach the Full Face Mask program in-house and to mutual-aid departments.
