gue fundamentals

TDI ER tech diver here looking to get GUE Fundies tech pass. I’d like to know if it’s easier to accomplish this goal using a wetsuit or drysuit, with the goal of choosing the harder option so I can more easily translate the skills I learned to the easier exposure option. I’m especially...

Dear my fellow divers, i am currently doing the GUE fundie, and i have been having trouble getting my head around the movement of modified flutter kick. I am struggling to get the fins to “flick” , does anyone have any tips on getting this finning technique ? My instructor told me i just need...

About a year ago, I started diving again after a few dry years. At about the same time, I came across a random video on YouTube showing a diver deploying an SMB. The diver was absolutely still in the water - I told myself immediately that this is how I want to look underwater. I started digging...

The swim test. The dreaded swim test. Historically speaking, the swim test is a source of anxiety for many divers new to GUE. And it makes sense: most people have swim-for-leisure experience, not swim-for-exercise experience; recreational agencies typically have low-rigor requirements...

(Please see my request regarding debate and arguing at the end of this post. TL;DR: Please just don't. Start a new thread if you have something to argue or debate. T.J.M.) I'm signed up for a GUE Fundamentals class which starts in just a couple of weeks. It's been a long journey: a decade...

Can a GUE instructor answer this question in detail. How long does it take? How do you go about it? An instructor trainer and evaluator (what’s the difference between the two). What has to be done to earn the right to teach even just the basic classes like fundies, doubles, Drysuit? Also for...

Back to basics sounds easy doesn’t it? Having plenty of dives, being current, many technical, on open and closed circuit, you’d think GUE fundamentals would be fairly easy and just polish off what you probably think is a reasonable diver to begin with……………….I wish! “Back to basics” is true...

I was looking st the list of GUE Literature and was wondering, is there a certain book for rec 1,2,3 fundamentals, and tech 1,2,3, etc? Or do books cover multiple classes? I ask because I would like to purchase the books for rec 1,2,3 and fundamentals just to read on my own so that I can get a...
