Is the SSI Full Face Mask Diving specialization available at our Darco Diving Center ????This is a training program designed for certified divers who want to switch from a traditional mouthpiece regulator to a mask that covers the eyes, nose, and mouth????↘️Key benefits of full-face mask diving ????????Natural breathing: It allows you to breathe freely through both your nose and mouth.????Thermal comfort: Your entire face is protected from icy water, which is ideal for Polish conditions.????No fogging: Airflow inside the mask eliminates the problem of fogged-up lenses.????Wide field of view: The design provides a much wider field of view than a classic mask.????Communication capability: Allows for the installation of underwater wireless communication systems.????Safety: ❗ The mask eliminates the risk of the regulator falling out of your mouth in the event of a cramp or loss of consciousness.❗↘️Prerequisites To enroll in the course, you must meet the following criteria: ????Minimum age: 12 years old.????Hold an SSI Open Water Diver certification (or an equivalent certification from another organization, e.g., PADI OWD). ???? Sign the medical waiver and other course documents.↘️Course Structure and Schedule????The training consists of three main stages, and its suggested duration is 10 to 15 hours:????Theory Sessions: You’ll learn about the construction of various mask models (e.g., Ocean Reef or Scubapro), how surface valves work, and emergency procedures. The theory portion concludes with a written exam.????At least 1 session in a pool or confined water: This is designed to help you master basic skills before heading out into open water.????At least 2 open-water dives: Practical application of the knowledge you’ve gained in real diving conditions↘️ Key skills practiced during the course: During practical sessions under the instructor’s supervision, you’ll need to master specific procedures:????Pressure equalization methods: Learning to use special nose clips inside the mask.???? Clearing a flooded mask: Removing water from inside the mask underwater without taking it off.????"Bail-out" procedure: Completely removing the full-face mask underwater and switching to a traditional backup regulator (octopus) and a standard mask.????Buoyancy control: A full-face mask has a larger air volume and generates positive buoyancy around the head, which requires adjusting your body position.???????? Atmospheric Valve (SAV) Operation: Switching to breathing atmospheric air at the surface to conserve gas from the tank.

[1, 2, 3, 4]1. Dive Physics The main factor determining the underwater environment is hydrostatic pressure, which increases by 1 atm for every 10 meters of depth in seawater. Three universal gas laws are of key importance in dive physics: [1, 2, 3, 4]Boyle–Mariotte’s Law: Expresses the relationship P ⋅ V = const (at constant temperature). An increase in pressure (P) causes a proportional decrease in the volume (V) of a gas. This explains why the lungs, mask, and buoyancy control device (BCD) contract during descent and expand during ascent. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Dalton’s Law: It states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of its individual components (\(P_{\text{tot}} = P_1 + P_2 + \dots + P_n\)). As depth increases, the partial pressures of oxygen (ppO₂) and nitrogen (ppN₂) rise, which directly affects their toxicity to the body. [1]Henry’s Law: States that the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. This law explains the mechanism by which nitrogen is absorbed by a diver’s tissues while at depth.Prerequisites: To enroll in SSI training, you must meet the following requirements:Age: Must be at least 12 years old.Certification: Must hold an Open Water Diver (OWD) certification or equivalent.First Aid: Current training in first aid, CPR, and oxygen administration (e.g., SSI React Right or EFR course), completed within the last 24 months.

In the Sidemount Diving course, you will learn everything you need to perform recreational diving with one or two sidemount cylinders to a maximum depth of 30 meters or to your certification depth, whichever is deeper. Sidemount cylinder diving is already a common practice among wreck and cave divers, but recreational divers are increasingly discovering the benefits of this style of diving. Without a heavy cylinder on your back, you will feel more comfortable and notice that your trim will improve without much effort. By using less energy, you can reduce your gas consumption, so you can make the most of your dive time. With better buoyancy control, easier access to valves and greater redundancy, sidemount cylinder diving offers safety and peace of mind when diving. You'll learn all the skills and knowledge you need to dive safely and comfortably with a one- or two-cylinder sidemount equipment configuration. Contact us about the course tel. 794 741 864
