Hi, that's a nice video! did you go with a liveaboard or diving center? Which one?

Hi! When I reached out to my GUE Fundamentals instructor a couple of years ago, he too strongly suggested to have the course in doubles and drysuit. Even if you're not aiming for "technical diving" I think that the whole experience of fundies with doubles is more complete and in any case...

This is the best and funniest wedding I've ever attended. :D Epic!

In his latest video, Krzysztof Starnawski, tries to raise awareness about the fatal accident in Fontanazzi Cave in Italy, back in January 2017. This was previously posted here in scubaboard: Cave fatality - Solagna, Italy Starnawski links to this website https://iantdaccident.com which refers...

cause it's cheaper for the diving center operator...

this ^ During a training session our instructor (whom I really like) saw that I was not paying close attention to a member of my team of three. He intentionally signaled my buddy to be "out-of-air". My buddy (an experienced, already trained diver) reached out instantly for my primary, a pretty...

check with your instructor. But the brand doesn't matter.

yeah, it's better there is a dedicated diver shooting the videos, not the instructor. That's how it went with my Fundamentals class anyway.

Although this practice is not limited to GUE, i think it would be great if all OW and AOW training programs had video recording of the trainees. It's pretty simple nowadays (with all these action cameras available) and I'd say it greatly enhances the training procedure.

Definitely the hip, check this out: FKD - Single Regulator Configuration

GUE SOPs still suggests 20/85 in DecoPlanner. Hm... edit: at the same time they give a red warning: "anything below the 21m stop is a slower ascent. There are no “deep stops” – just a controlled ascent!"

It seems (based on latest GUE live video) Chris Le Maillot and Kirill Egorov were among the people who prepared this class for a couple of years. Le Maillot explained that depending on the environment some GUE divers already used sidemount configuration. And that experience shall be transformed...

Second what taimen said. I'd say go with doubles and drysuit from the beginning. Don't overthink if you'll get a rec or tec pass. Just enjoy the class ;)

Hi, would you mind sharing with us what was your previous (decompression) training? Thanks

Thanks for the lengthy and detailed report. Would you mind sharing the instructor you took Cave 1 with?

Yeah, what type of dives are you looking for? Which islands you gonna visit?

Does Alert Diver come in printed edition too? I must have missed that part of membership. :-/

I was expecting GUE to put up a public statement...

Why was Cave 3 removed ?

Hello there, I spotted this video here while browsing ISE's very rich youtube channel (thanks for publishing this content btw). So, I'm wondering is this drill part of some training course? I guess some people would think it's hardcore, but it did remind me that in PADI OW we actually had a...
