This course focuses heavily on Kicking Techniques, including the back kick. Students are also given guidance on how to master buoyancy and trim, teamwork,communication, problem solving and environmental awareness. These are all key elements of a course aimed solely at making you a better diver.
The Fundamentals course has traditionally been taught over a very intense 4 day period. While this is still an option, recently changes have been made to allow for a split course of two parts. This gives students time to refine and build confidence in technique and foundational skills before advancing through to part two.
The GUE Fundamentals course is renowned for being one of the best investments you can make in your own diving! No other diving course focuses this heavily on both technique and theory at this level. Whether you are a course director or an open water diver GUE can offer you the route to safer and more enjoyable diving, whatever your aspirations.

The part two class is designed to evolve a solid Rec or Tec Pass Part One diver into a refined and masterful GUE fundamentals diver. Through this part of the course you will become capable of functioning as part of a team and operating with a high level of skill when it comes to more complex and potentially stressful elements of diving technique and practice.
The course moves forward into Valve & S-drills, ascent management, decompression theory, Gas management and rescue techniques among many other critical areas. It is intensive and will find a way to push even the most experienced of divers own skill level.
GUE Tech 1
The GUE Tech 1 course is normally conducted over a very intense 6 day period. Combining lectures and practical (inwater) sessions, this course is designed to introduce students to GUE technical diving concepts and build competence in important areas such as gas switching and ascent management. The course starts in shallow water and concludes with three experience dives in the 40–50m range.
Much of the in-water section of the class focuses on emergency management scenarios, all conducted in actual dive settings. Your capacity to deal with the wide variety of potential problems encountered whilst ‘tech diving’ will be tested and ultimately expanded and improved.
The GUE Tech 1 course covers all the essential skills required to dive safely in the 50m depth range: valve failures, gas switching procedures, ascent protocols, out-of-gas and lost deco gas emergencies, basic line protocol, SMB deployment, team communication and diving protocols.
