Mission Statement
Ocean Reef have built PADI/SSI distinctive training programmes to dive using integrated dive masks and tools for underwater communications to give a whole new experience to your scuba time. The Integrated Dive Mask Specialty Course is designed to familiarise divers with the theory, skills, knowledge, procedures, hazards, benefits and enjoyment of diving with a full face mask and underwater communication systems. The goals of the course are to develop the student’s knowledge and dive skills of using ocean reef IDM and “bailouts” (alternate air supplies) available and how to conduct, prepare and maintain underwater communication units to take your scuba diving experiences to a new level.
OCEAN REEF not only incorporates the regulator into the mask in order to balance all that a diver needs; such as weight, buoyancy lift, visual field, breathing effort in various positions and under differing conditions, profiles, and bubbles, but incorporate everything that can be useful, increase safety, and make dives more enjoyable using full face masks.
This led to the creation of a series of integrated solutions, such as the frame for using corrective lenses inside the mask, the surface air valve that is built into the mask profile, lights installed in the upper part of the visor and controlled by a switch/battery compartment that is efficiently con- nected to the SAV, tank pressure and depth displays applied to the sides of the visor, and naturally, various types of communications units. There are even solutions for drinking underwater as well as other elements that “integrate” into the architecture of the mask.
The goals of the Integrated Dive Masks Diver Distinctive Specialty course is to familiarize the diver with skills, knowledge, procedures, techniques, problems, hazards, and care as well as enjoyment of diving with a full face mask. The course will also include the use and care of the Integrated Dive Mask and Communications Units.
In this course we look into the latest generation of masks from OCEAN REEF, introducing the concept of the “integrated mask” and expanding upon all the technical and usage aspects of a product that will change the underwater diving technique radically in upcoming years and a must for aspiring marine biologists, engineers and conservationists working on a range of intricate projects in underwater environments.
