FYI, Updated GUE Training Standards

[amascuba]

I haven't seen this posted yet, so I thought I would go ahead and do it. GUE has posted updated training standards for 2006, which include their Recreational 1 course (Open Water Course) and their Recreational Triox course has been renamed to Recreational 2. I'm sure there are other changes, but I haven't been real savvy to the training standards until recently. Take a look:

the funniest thing is that for cave diver 1 you have to swim 275 meters in LESS than i MINUTE...
Which is generally 16 km/h (or 10 mph). That's faster than ANY swimming world record...



So it seems that cave diver is way beyond my abilities

i posted on another board that it's something like 12 knots and an 80 foot hull speed for a displacement hull, so it looks like cave 1 students will need to work on planing when they swim...

i'll stick with technical diving and wrecks...
