Donning and Adjustment

Proper donning is crucial when using any piece of diving equipment, even 

more so with the Guardian FFM. An improperly adjusted mask will result 

in jaw fatigue, increased air consumption, leaking, and an overall poor fit.
Donning correctly starts with understanding how the mask fits. The mask 

comes in a single size designed to fit the widest range of facial dimensions 

possible. First and foremost, you have to start with the 

chin

. The mask has 

to be fitted to the chin first; the rest of the mask will seal to the face where 

it lays.

With the mask straps fully extended, move 

the communications (either the Buddy 

Phone or earphone and microphone 

assembly) as far as possible to the rear 

of the straps to prevent them from binding 

against the buckles. Open the lower straps 

and bring the mask and harness over your 

head (Figure 12). Ensure the harness is 

straight and the center is low on the back 

of your head.
Hold the mask to your face with one hand 

and snug the lower (jaw) straps one at a 

time, switching hands to accommodate 

tightening the other. Pull the straps toward 

the back of your head, 

not

 out to the side. Attempt to tighten the straps 

evenly to prevent pulling the back of the head harness off center. Do not 

overtighten. 

Next, snug the temple straps evenly as 

well. If necessary, tighten the top strap just 

enough to pull the top of the skirt snug to 

your forehead. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN 

THE TOP STRAP! This can result in jaw 

fatigue after just a short period of time. Now, 

wiggle the mask on your face to ensure the 

mask is in proper position and centered 

with no stress points. Evenly snug the 

straps (Figure 13) to the desired tension, 

again not overtightening the straps. The 

mask should be comfortable on your face.
