GUE’s Deep Primer (Triox) is a course to prepare divers for deeper recreational diving with the option to use a 30/30 triox as a breathing gas. The scope of the course includes, m.in: improving and developing basic skills, introduction to decompression issues – theory and practice, correct ascent procedures in emergency situations. During the course, you can use a breathing mixture consisting of 30% oxygen, 30% helium and 40% nitrogen to minimize the effect of narcosis and reduce respiratory effort.
Each GUE course includes a swimming test. In this case, it is:
The GUE Deep Primer (Triox) course introduces divers to recreational diving at greater depths and the basics of decompression management. During theoretical classes, we discuss topics such as:
The practical part of the course focuses on improving skills and preparing divers for safe diving at greater depths. During the training, we deal with areas such as:
The GUE Deep Primer (Triox) course is an excellent preparation for further diving development towards technical diving.
GUE strives to provide divers with the highest level of awareness and safety. We train people who often participate in projects that require increased physical or mental effort underwater, so the priority is to optimize diving conditions.
According to the researchers’ recommendations, the ideal maximum gas density for comfortable breathing is 5.2 g/L, which corresponds to a nitrox of 32 per 30 m. Thicker gases can increase respiratory effort, which translates into a higher risk of fatigue and increased CO₂ levels.
In addition, the level of narcosis increases significantly around 30m. High levels of narcosis make it difficult to make decisions and can lead to an increased risk of panic in emergency situations.
Thirdly, no-decompression limits severely limit the amount of time divers can spend at greater depths.
Therefore, at depths greater than 30 m, GUE recommends the use of trimix and additional gases to accelerate decompression. This increases safety and allows us to explore the places of interest for longer. You can gain skills for this type of diving on the GUE Rec 3 (Master Diver) course or on the GUE Technical Diver 1 technical training.
No. The GUE Deep Primer (Triox) course can just as well be done in a single cylinder setup.
Yes. In this training, you will learn why the use of helium increases the level of safety of divers – especially in the case of difficult and deep dives.

Stringent requirements ensure excellent stability, responsiveness, and situational awareness.
Nitrox 32 is introduced at the basic level and trimix is also available for recreational divers.
