    DIR in Southern Oregon

    There has not been a great base yet established in OR, however, you are in the middle of well established training facilities in WA, and CA that are strong supporters of GUE/DIR. Fifth D in Seattle , Aquan in SFrancisco, both run regularly scheduled fundamentals courses taught by a range of...

    DIR/GUE OW class

    Students completing the GUE ow course will not be required to complete the fundamentals program, as all content in fundamentals will be covered in the ow curriculum, plus some added content. Look for some of this added content to be added into the fundamentals course as well. Increasing the...

    Is DIR the right way to go

    I highly recommend doing the GUE fundamentals class. As stated here already, the longer one waits the more they allow habits that are not necessarily the best to become reinforced into muscle memory. The course is the farthest thing from technical that you can get. It focuses on control in...

    requirements for DIR-F training

    GUE current standards state that you must be a non smoker. The underwater swim is only 50'. If that is not something you can do now, I would seriously consider my diving choices. There is an audit option. usually cost the same, but you do not get evaluated for pass/fail. I would...

    MC Storage Pac....cmon...can it really store?

    Looks like all has been covered, but just to be sure all understand. ALL sm devices need to be folded small so that they fit easily through the throat of the SMP and they are easily deployable from this spot. Bob Sherwood@GUE.com

    Hovering upside down

    There are many variables that effect the center of gravity. If you look at body design, almost everyone has a larger upper body than lower one. our upper body has a different surface to density ratio than our lower body does. Therefore most poeple's legs have a tendency to float up...

    TDI GUE course differences

    that you will learn about on-the-fly deco in a GUE tech course while TDI pretty much sticks to predetermined tables. Is this correct or did I understand him wrongly? Seems like a pretty big advantage to me given that any number of things can defer from dive plan and cause you to require an...

    TDI GUE course differences

    One of the biggest differences, is that GUE is not really interested in training the masses. That is why the requirements ( i.e. equipment/gases/physical fitness/ philosophy/ect) are as strict as they are. While there are certainly, and always will be differences of opinions, other agencies...

    Computer or Bottom Timer? Which is better for tech diving?

    OK all, I gotta jump in here for a minute. The Vyper makes a nice choice as a BOTTOM TIMER in GUAGE mode. (and you have the extra $) The modes CAN NOT be changed from dive to dive /requires a 24 free period. However, the ability to download the dive profiles is worth the $ and is a great...

    Tell me what y'all think about this idea...

    -SORRY- 30 HOURS OR SO BEFORE THE EXPIRE. I would however be interested in the source for the filters, as I just replaced all three of mine and the invoice at my cost was approx 250$. I'm putting in a second fill station at another location, and would also be interested in the $100 digital...
