    Beginners doing GUE fundamentals?

    Having been through Navy boot camp and Navy flight school, and multiple deployments flying combat jets from aircraft carriers, I can say this is basically true. Boot camp involves a lot of hazing and yelling and physical abuse to separate the motivated from the non-motivated. The drill...

    What to do about the carry on crackdown

    Fly business class. Typically you get two free checked 65 pound bags. That helps reduce the need for a carry-on. The checked bags get priority handling and tracking. You're guaranteed that your checked bags will arrive at your destination with you. Push comes to shove, economy bags will get...

    Vessel Yet another Egyptian sinking - the Triton

    Okay, between shark attacks on divers and sinking dive boats, I'm crossing Egypt off my list forever. I traveled to Egypt in the 1980s, Alexandria and Cairo. Two of the most disgusting cities I have ever visited, and I've been to 50 countries so far. I no longer see a reason to return to Egypt.

    Beginners doing GUE fundamentals?

    Like I said.... Deny and attack, the GUE way of doing business. GUE has never even acknowledged my complaints about the class and instructor, let alone apologize or offer me a free repeat with another instructor. I spent thousands of dollars in airfare, vacation time, hotels, rentals cars...

    Beginners doing GUE fundamentals?

    I took GUE Fundies as a beginner, maybe 60 dives total. I had numerous conversations with my GUE instructor before the class, because I really had no idea if I was ready for such a class. My GUE instructor advised me to take the class regardless of my skill level. After the class began, he...

    We are looking for the BEST dive sites on Key Largo in March

    The aren't any good dive sites in Florida. Because it's Florida. There many other places around the world where the local people are actually nice, the food is cheap and good, the diving is better, and overall will be cheaper than Florida.

    Is Master Scuba Diver "worth it" in your opinion

    No benefit. Spend the time and money that you'd spend on master diver, and get some better training like GUE Fundies. If you want to put another dollar in the get the plastic card, be my guest.
