Technical Diver 1

The GUE Technical Diver 1 (Tech 1) is your first step into the challenging world of Technical Diving. Initially, it’s all about getting to know tech equipment and improving foundational diving skills —those that you learned in the GUE Fundamentals course- to suit the level of rigorous diving you are heading into.

As you progress and become a more diligent diver, you also become more aware of the risks increasing, when diving deeper and longer. What sets apart the technical diving training, is the approach to diving itself. Tech 1 will teach you the proper mindset to manage risk, focusing on dive planning, teamwork, communication and situational awareness.

GUE TECH 1:

Tech 1 will cover the following subjects among others:

• Extends your depth limit to 51m
• General Decompression strategies and procedures
• Use of Helium based breathing mixtures of standard gases (32% nitrox, 30/30 triox, or 21/35 trimix or 18/45 trimix)
• Safely use 50% Nitrox or oxygen for accelerated decompression.
• Use of doubles and one stage cylinder
• Rescue techniques and situational awareness
• Planing, teamwork and communication

GUE Technical Diver 1 provides an excellent foundation on which you will build your tech diving experience. The course prepare you for advanced technical GUE training (Tech 2), GUE CCR Rebreather courses and GUE scientific and exploration projects.
