Course Description

The Definition of a Competent Diver.

GUE’s Advanced Open Water (Recreational Diver Level 2) course is designed to prepare divers for deeper, more demanding recreational diving. While most agencies treat "Advanced" training as a few simple experience dives, GUE treats it as a serious transformation. Successful completion of this course will allow you to confidently explore thousands of deeper wrecks and reefs with the mental capacity to handle emergencies, navigate complex paths, and eliminate narcosis.

Why Take This Course? & Who Is It For?

If you feel your current ability to navigate falls short, you want to be fully prepared to help other divers in an emergency, or you’d like to drastically decrease your dependency on dive guides, then this is the course for you. It is aimed at divers who want the "Total Package" rather than taking three separate Primers, and is a vital stepping stone for those preparing for GUE Master Diver or Cave 1.

The XR Explorers Exclusive: We are the only facility in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain authorized to teach this program. When you train with us, you are accessing a level of education unavailable anywhere else in the region.

What You Will Master (The Trinity)

This course consists of three essential GUE skill sets combined into one seamless curriculum:

  1. Navigation: You will learn to use a Primary Light for signaling, execute complex compass patterns in conjunction with natural navigation, and use a spool to lay a guideline. This opens up your diving options to include safely executing Night and Low Visibility dives. Performance Divers will also learn how to perfectly deploy an SMB.
  2. Rescue: You will build on what you have learned by practicing search patterns for emergency management. From surfacing an unconscious diver to managing a panic scenario on the surface, you will learn to save a teammate without endangering yourself.
  3. Deep Diving: Done using Nitrox 32% (or Triox 30/30), you will learn how breathing gas affects you at depth, how to plan deeper dives up to 30 meters (100 ft), and how to ascend and descend while maintaining absolute control.

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you to dial in those fundamentals. I’m really glad to hear you are feeling more confident and comfortable in the drysuit—that is exactly the goal of the Primer. Great job during the course, and I look forward to seeing you in the water again soon!

I recently completed the GUE Drysuit Primer with Mr. Yehia, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
The course was organized perfectly — clear briefings, structured land sessions, and plenty of in-water time to practice and refine every skill.

Mr. Yehia’s professionalism, patience, and attention to detail made the learning experience exceptional. He explained every concept clearly and gave precise feedback after each dive, helping me quickly improve my buoyancy, trim, and overall control in the drysuit.

What impressed me most was his ability to keep the atmosphere positive and relaxed while maintaining the high GUE standards. I finished the course feeling confident, safe, and fully in control of the drysuit — ready for more advanced dives.

I truly recommend Mr. Yehia and the GUE Drysuit Primer to any diver who wants to build solid foundations and dive comfortably in all conditions.
