Honestly, I think it gets too complicated when they are going to have like a "tech" vs. "rec", and it just doesn't seem to serve my purpose well... as someone who is strictly going to remain recreational. Don't mind to dabble in a cavern, but not enough to care about diving doubles. The seacure part... just kidding.

I agree. Two versions? That's nuts. How can people keep that clear? I started trying to keep track: "version one"..."version three". Damn!
So is this a real thread, or just a troll that belongs in whine and cheeze or another community forum?
Are your questions serious?
Divers can (or just as in life one can) learn a lot from ANY course, if their intention is to learn. If your intention is to get a pat on the back and a card that says you're edumucated, then that's what you'll get.
If diving doubles doesn't interest you... then don't dive doubles. You don't HAVE to take more technical courses to be a good diver. One can remain a recreational diver, who never does a dive where there's more than a 3 minute safety stop required, for the rest of their life if that's their desire.
Two choices: get over it, or get rid of it.
It's not really that hard.
EDIT - just read further that you were only kidding about the SeaCure mouthpiece. Either way, some people like DIR and embrace it. Others don't. Whatever. "Dive and let dive!"

I think a serious question would have been asked in the DIR forum and worded a little differently, don't you?

Howard, perhaps you don't take my humor well. It is a serious question, with a little mix of my dislike of rigidity. But as I understand, much of the skills taught in GUE-F is essentially the skills taught in a cavern/intro cave course. Why go one path, when the other path might be more interesting.
With people here having gone both routes - it is a serious question. But hopefully you still retain a sense of humor.
Who is bashing GUE? If you can not give clear guidance, except to call people who ask a simple question "uneducated", it does sound a little odd.
