Course details

GUE Open Water Diver is not just a diving certification—it’s a transformative foundation in high-level diving. This course empowers non-divers with the skills, awareness, and confidence to dive as part of a competent team in a range of open water environments.

Over a six days, students undergo more than 40 hours of integrated classroom, land drills, and in-water training, including 10+ confined water sessions and a minimum of 6 open water dives. All training is conducted under strict safety and performance protocols, using GUE’s standardized equipment configuration.

From the very first breath underwater, divers train in team-based protocols, horizontal trim, buoyancy control, gas management, and navigation, cultivating habits that support long-term progression into technical or exploration diving.

Upon successful completion, students are certified to dive independently with a team of similarly certified divers, using air or nitrox to a maximum depth of 21 meters (70 feet), within no-decompression limits.

The GUE Open Water Diver course teaches the core competencies of safe, skilled diving. You’ll gain:

  • Team-based diving protocols
  • Horizontal trim and precise buoyancy control
  • Confidence in confined and open water environments
  • Solid understanding of diving physics, physiology, and equipment use

Upon successful completion, you’ll be certified to dive with your team—unsupervised—to a depth of 21 meters (70 feet).
