Info Sessions

GUE training is unlike almost any other course you’ve ever taken in the diving world. There’s a lot to learn about in order to figure out if it’s right for you (and it’s not for everyone). We hold periodic free Info Sessions over Zoom. During this session we cover:

  • what is this GUE course about
  • how to figure out if it’s right for you
  • what to expect
  • the methodology used
  • how to prepare and common equipment questions
  • the Wet Rocks Diving difference <– there are some awesome new benefits here
  • COVID-related modifications and protocols

We will be holding periodic free Info Sessions for Cave and Tech students, during which we’ll discuss:

  • Which first: cave or tech? — pros and cons of different course-orders
  • Where to train? — pros and cons of different class locations
  • How to prepare — for Tech or Cave and how that prep is a little different for the two classes
  • The Wet Rocks Online Learning Process <— there is some neat NEW stuff here!
  • A preview of Wet-Rocks-Only student resources
  • COVID precautions
  • Next steps
