GUE Courses<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"DIGITAL<\/a>Wet Rocks Diving teaches the following GUE Courses from the Recreational, Foundational, and Cave curricula, described below. Should you aspire to pursue more advanced GUE training, we can provide guidance to get you going in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Recreational Diver 1 (Rec 1)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– Learn-to-Dive!<\/p>\n

GUE’s Open Water class for those who have never SCUBA dived before. Includes nitrox training.<\/p>\n

<\/a>GUE Fundamentals Part 1 (Formerly GUE Primer)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fundamentals Part 1 introduces certified divers to the GUE method of diving, including GUE System equipment (backplate, wing, harness, long hose, fins, etc.). Focus is on buoyancy, trim, stability, control, propulsion, maneuvering, pre-dive checks, team diving, situational awareness, and why we do these things the way we do them with this specific equipment set-up. These basic skills are useful for both the 30′ reef enthusiast and the deep cave explorer alike!<\/p>\n

Drysuit Primer<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

The GUE Drysuit Primer introduces certified divers to diving with a drysuit. Learn about the components of a drysuit system, considerations for diving colder waters, and drysuit diving techniques. Focus is on why and how we manage buoyancy when diving dry as well as refining trim, stability, control, propulsion, maneuvering, team diving, and situational awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doubles Primer<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The GUE Doubles Primer introduces certified divers to diving a double (twin) tank configuration. Learn about the components of a double tank system, why and how to configure the system, and how to operate and dive with doubles. Refine buoyancy, trim, stability, control, propulsion, maneuvering, pre-dive checks, team diving, and situational awareness.<\/p>\n

GUE Fundamentals<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– Our Most Popular Class<\/p>\n

GUE Fundamentals, affectionately called “Fundies,” introduces certified divers to the GUE method of diving, including GUE System equipment\u00a0(backplate, wing, harness, long hose, fins, etc.), stable platform, propulsion, and basic skills useful for everyday diving and more advanced diving alike. Fundamentals is the gateway for non-GUE divers to qualify for advanced GUE training above the primer level classes. This course offers excellent training, practice, and feedback in skill refinement regardless if certification is earned or future GUE classes desired. It can be taken as one course or as divided\u00a0into two shorter parts.<\/p>\n

Fundamentals Tech Upgrade<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fundamentals Tech Upgrade is a session which allows a GUE Rec 1 or GUE Fundamentals graduate to demonstrate they meet the Fundamentals Technical Rating requirements for entry to a GUE Cave 1 or Tech 1 class. If student’s previous GUE training was in a single tank, best results may be achieved by combining a Doubles Primer with the Tech Upgrade.<\/p>\n
