What you’ll Learn in your GUE Technical Fundamentals Course
Over four intensive days, you’ll improve your in-water skills through hands-on practice. You’ll also pick up valuable tips and tools to help you plan dives, adapt underwater, and free up mental capacity to truly enjoy the dive.
Theory
You’ll complete the theoretical part independently in advance using GUEs e-learning platform. During the course, we’ll review any questions in detail and address your individual topics.

What Sets GUE Apart from Other Dive Training Programs
This teaching method has been refined over years of practical experience. Each step flows seamlessly into the next, using a variety of stimuli so that all types of learners can absorb new skills efficiently without ever getting bored.
Theory
Every exercise is explained in detail with real-world relevance and demonstrated clearly. Together, we break down complex skills into manageable, easy-to-remember components so you fully understand what matters and why.
Dry Runs
Before getting in the water, you’ll rehearse each skill several times on land with detailed, hands-on instruction. This gives you the chance to clarify questions, build muscle memory, and ensure there are no surprises underwater.
In-Water Practice
You only truly learn to dive by diving. That’s why we spend a lot of time in the water—at least four dives during the course. Every skill is demonstrated underwater, then you and your team will practice together under guidance.
Feedback
You’ll receive precise, constructive feedback at every step of the way - not just on what to improve, but how and why. Feedback is given during underwater exercises and after each dive, including personalized video reviews to help you improve your skills for the next time.
