GUE Scuba Diver – Your First Breath Underwater

Your First Breath Underwater.

Are you interested in visiting the underwater world, but not quite sure how comfortable you’ll feel there? Get a taste of what it is like to be underwater with the GUE Scuba Diver course. This class teaches you all the basic skills required for a safe and comfortable dive while strictly limiting the depth of your dives to 12 m/40 ft. Because of your limited experience, you will always be diving under the direct supervision of a dive professional.

Who Is This For?

The GUE Scuba Diver course may be the best first step if you want to dive exclusively under the supervision of dive professionals. You might want to get the extra care they can provide, or you might just prefer to take on new experiences in smaller increments.

• Time Constraints: This is a great solution if time constraints prevent you from taking the full 6-7 day GUE Recreational Diver 1 course in one go.
• Youth Divers: It is highly recommended for young people, as it limits their exposure to depth and puts them under strict adult supervision.

What Will I Learn?

Course outcomes include fundamental principles of diving, how the equipment works, and how your body is affected by pressure changes in the water. You will learn fun skills that will make you feel confident and competent underwater, helping you overcome basic problems that may occur during your dives.

• Platform of Stability: You will learn good buoyancy and horizontal trim (staying within 30 degrees of horizontal and within 1.5m of your target depth).
• Propulsion: Comfortably demonstrate at least two propulsion techniques appropriate for delicate environments, and comprehend the mechanics of a backward kick.
• Safety & Rescue: S-drills (donating gas to an out-of-gas diver), the GUE "Basic 5" scuba skills, mask clearing, and safe ascent/descent procedures.
• Gas Management: Basic understanding of Nitrox diving, the importance of gas analysis, and minimum decompression limits (MDLs).
