Hi, can anyone tell me if there is an actual requirement to do a Full face

I have done diving before on holiday but only shallow about 5 metres or so,
I wish to learn but am worried about my ear drums as I burst them or

weakened and may not take deeper diving...

Hi, I have a rig on my bench with a dil freeflow.
When I took of the hoses from the ADV, the valve lever seemed in a
