Mastery Before Progression.

Historically, the GUE Technical Fundamentals course was created to solve a specific problem: divers showing up for Cave or Technical training struggling with basic skills. It is pointless to begin advanced training before you have mastered the platform. It leads to task loading, stress, and dangerous situations.

This course is designed for experienced divers. It is the Gateway to GUE’s advanced curriculum. Earning a "Tech Pass" in this course proves that you possess the capacity, situational awareness, and stability required to contribute to a technical diving team.

What You Will Master

  • Precision Propulsion: Forward, Frog, Modified Flutter, Helicopter Turn, and the Backward Kick.

  • Valve Management: The ability to resolve regulator failures on a manifold while hovering motionless.
