OTS GuardianFull Face Mask

The Guardian Full Face Mask (GFFM).

Designed With Divers In Mind!!!

With over 60 years of diving experience, and having sold almost every type of Full Face Mask on the market, it was easy to see there was a need for something better. As a result OTS put together a design team consisting of John Hott, Michael Pelissier, Charlie Van Tassel (outside consultant) and Jerry Peck.

Charlie & Jerry's tasks were to design a 2nd stage regulator that would function with a full face mask. John & Mike were instrumental in getting a side mounted 2nd stage design. Jerry concentrated on the fine adjustments of our double seal design.

A common problem with most FFM on the market today is the seal. The lack of a good seal causes the diver to use air quicker and can interfere with the divers ability to hear if using underwater communications. With that in mind, the GFFM was designed around a double seal. This along with many other great features (i.e. semi positive pressure, quick release 2nd stage, easy maintenance, etc.) is why you will find the Guardian is the best bang for your buck when buying a full face mask. The Guardian is fast becoming a standard with Search & Recovery, Law Enforcement, Commercial and Recreational divers.

The Guardian - A Better Mask

 The Guardian was designed with a double seal, allowing for the comfort of both small and large faces.
 Equalizing system which helps fit virtually all noses.
 Variety of Colors are offered
 Low profile (visibility is superb)
 Hose comes off the right side (most preferred by divers)
 Easily adjustable head straps & robust buckles.
 Ambient Breathing Valve (ABV)
 Easily removable 2nd stage regulator (great for storage and maintenance)

The Guardian Full Face Mask is comfortable and is easy to use for anyone. The low profile visor ensures great visibility. The ABV valve helps preserve your air when on the surface. Set up is fast and the hose is on the right side which helps to keep your configuration clean and organized.
Diving becomes effortless especially in cold water. The Guardian helps keep your face warm and being able to breathe out your nose helps keep you from getting a dry throat, which is common for divers who have long duration dives.
We spent several hours with all types of faces to find the right 2nd seal in the mask. Women and men both found the mask to be extremely comfortable. In some cases, women who could not dive any other full face mask were able to easily dive the Guardian (first prototype Guardian pictured - SLA moulded).
You can see the double seal looking into the Guardian full face mask. The larger seal will pick up larger faces. The inside seal will come into play if your face is small and goes past the larger seal. This makes for a comfortable fit.
The mask bag was specifically designed for a full face mask. The design actually helps maintain the mask. The bag has large drain holes located on the bottom and a vent screen on the top. This helps in the drying process after diving. The bag also is designed to hold the full face mask upside down which ensures the water drains away from the 2nd stage regulator. However, the Guardian was designed with a quick release so the 2nd stage can easily be removed for storage and/or maintenance
The Guardian comes in a variety of colors. If you are a OTS Dealer and desire your LOGO and/or company colors, we can accommodate you if the quantity is right.
Many women who have tried other full face masks have found them to be uncomfortable, to big and leak heavily in the temple area. Reports from our woman test divers are that the Guardian full face mask fits nicely, gives good visibility and easy to use. Of course we have already received request for PINK....
