About this course

Full Face Mask Instructor

Full face masks are increasingly used across recreational, commercial and public safety diving, offering improved communication, comfort and safety in demanding conditions. The PADI Full Face Mask Specialty Instructor course at Diving Academy is a one-day programme that qualifies you to teach this specialty to your own students.

You will learn how to organise and run sessions covering full face mask fit, communication systems, buddy checks, emergency procedures such as mask removal and switching to a backup regulator, and the situations where a full face mask offers a genuine advantage over a standard mask and regulator setup. The course also looks at how to present this specialty in a way that helps students understand exactly when and why it is worth learning.

Entry requires PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or instructor-candidate status, as this is taken as a Specialty Instructor course, and as with other specialties there may be additional prerequisites or exit requirements to be aware of. You will leave with practical teaching tips and hands-on experience you can apply in your very next student session.

Once qualified, you can independently teach the Full Face Mask Specialty Diver course, opening up a valuable option for students moving into more specialised or professional diving environments. It also counts toward Master Scuba Diver Trainer status, making it a worthwhile addition for instructors at Diving Academy in Reading building a well-rounded specialty portfolio.

“🌊 IDC No. 8 – April-May 2026: AMAZING! 🌊 An incredibly intensive course that truly prepares you to become the kind of instructor you wish you had when you first decided to breathe underwater 🤿 It lasted nearly a month online and 10 days in person.💪💪💪 You need to trust the process, because the program is designed not only to teach diving skills, but also to help you grow into a more professional, confident, and responsible person 💪 During these 10 days, you’ll be so focused on learning and improving that you probably won’t even have time to take photos 📚🔥 The entire IDC Sardinia staff is always there for you — guiding, supporting, motivating, and helping you through every challenge. They seem to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly when you need encouragement, and they won’t let you give up, even when the summit feels far away 🌟 And don’t worry… there will also be moments of…”

“I just did my IDC with IDC Sardegna and it was the most amazing experience in my life. I love all of the staff with all my heart. The support, the training, the organisation and in generall every day was structured perfect. It was a challengig time, but I fully enjoyed it and was able to do a big step in my diving live. Special thanks to the Course Director Luca, who is one of the most inspiring persons I met in my whole life. Lets see what time does, but if I ever gonna do a contiuing education I will do it with him. Grazie”

“I did the IDC with them and everything was truly fantastic. They're professional, helpful, and ready to help you both with the course and if you have any issues with the equipment. They truly take care of every detail. Luckily, I don't have to do it again 😄 ✌🏼, but if I did, I'd definitely choose them again.”

“Becoming a diving instructor has recently become my biggest dream in life :) And this dream has finally come true, largely thanks to the wonderful team at IDC Sardegna, who shared all their love and knowledge of diving with me in the best possible way! I can only recommend that you take an instructor course with them so that you too can join this wonderful world in the most beautiful way possible 🙂”
