I'd call Robert (Scubatude) and schedule a time to meet him at his shop.

Hey Jax, I'd love to read your detailed account of your week with Ed!

To the original poster: I've taken GUE Fundies through Tech 1 over the past year here in the LA area. Kevrumbo mentioned Steve Millington, he was my instructor and was *excellent*. Anyway, we all were VERY frustrated with the written materials. They really need to be redone, especially the...

Back to the original post. 2 inner tubes on the corregated, one large o-ring or, bungee at the D-ring.

Tbone, I always appreciate your point of view, but I think you missed it on this one. GUE is still one of, and more accurately,*the*, preeminent DIR agency. I was a scubaboard-noobie DIR-wannabe and stumbled into GUE, and have progressed through Tec1. I have yet to find anything of significance...

Highly recommend the Halcyon 3' closed circuit SMB. has served me well from fundies rec pass through Tec1. Can be both orally and LP hose inflated. 1/2 a breath is just right, no need to use hose. Diver's Alert Marker, 3.3' (1 m) long, closed circuit 14.030.006 *Buy Halcyon at DIVESEEKERS.com...

She is going to ruin the vacation of some nice couple who decides to accompany her only to 100', when she doesn't return from 200+.....

Hey Pete, don't know if it was always there, or you added it: love that I can click the thread title, a very big area, and be taken directly to the first unread message. Also like the change to having to click "mark all forums read". It used to irritate me to no end when the board would do...

Once again Mike and the boys at DRiS are the best. When I ordered my drysuit a year and a half ago, I told Mike to give me the "sexy replaceable seals". I never knew what exactly I had. Looks like what I got is what is installed on the dry suit in this video, "round permanent wrist system", and...

I have the regular SiTech round rings. The self don/doff this provides and the knobbed locking ring would be nice even for the round ones. Is that variation offered ?

I was on the boat that day, part of a 3 man GUE Tec1 team. Given the inevitable litigation, it is inappropriate for me to make any specific comment on all this speculation. However I think it is very relevant that 2 of our team, plus a different 3rd GUE, jumped right on the boat the next day...

Hhhmm, I'm not certain, but I'm leaning toward yes.

Haha, well, 3 classes. But I was quite rough and inexperienced, I needed the training and lots of practice in between.

Under my name in a post it says Solo Diver. I can't get rid of that, and I'm not a member of the solo diver forum. Any ideas to make it go away?

I'd recommend that you do what I did: 1. Fundies in wetsuit and single tank - Rec pass 2. GUE Drysuit class 3. GUE Doubles class 4. Practice fundies skills a lot in Tec configuration 5. Fundies Tec pass check out dive

Well, maybe. If you are not totally squared away in doubles and a drysuit, you are probably going to fail going for a Tec pass (as in not even get a provisional). Depends on the diver and their skill level. I was very glad I did a rec pass first, as I found out during the class that I did not...

Yes it is, assuming you do it in drysuit and doubles. You can also take fundies in a wetsuit and single tank (rec pass), then come back later in drysuit and doubles for a tec pass, which is what I did. All we had to do for tec pass was the last dive of fundies to tec pass standards. Since I had...

Sure they do, quite a bit. Especially on recreational profiles. I dive all the time (Rec profiles) with a UTD guy in his UTD sidemount rig. He also recently chose to take Fundies in back mounted doubles, eyeing GUE Tec 1. But, as a newish Tec1 diver, I choose to only be a team mate with GUE...

I went with GUE. Many more GUE divers in LA/OC than UTD (I've only met one so far). Apparently there are quite a few UTD in San Diego. Anyway, I've done GUE Fundies Rec and Tec, Drysuit, Doubles, DPV1 and Tec 1. I found the training to be VERY high quality, and it is quite hard to pass if you...

Looks great Pete! Especially on iPhone in Safari window. One suggestion: the dot that you can click in the thread listing, which takes you right to unread message in that thread, make it larger. Hard to click on a phone.
