GUE TECHNICAL DIVER 1

TECHNICAL DIVER 1

Achieve Greater Depths

The GUE Tech 1 takes the skills you learned in the Technical Fundamentals course and applies them to deeper diving. It will teach you how to manage risk and hone your focus on dive planning, teamwork, communication and situational awareness.

The Tech 1 course will:

extend your depth limit to 51m
teach general decompression strategies and procedures
use Helium-based breathing mixtures of standard gases (32% nitrox, 30/30 triox, or 21/35 trimix or 18/45 trimix)
instruct on the safe use of 50% Nitrox or oxygen for accelerated decompression
allow for use of doubles and one stage cylinder
develop your rescue techniques and situational awareness

The GUE Technical Diver 1 course prepares you for advanced tech training such as the Tech 2 and CCR courses as well as opens the door for participation in GUE scientific and exploration projects.
