The GUE Master Diver (Rec3 – Recreational Trimix) training is an advanced recreational course designed for GUE divers who want to gradually develop their skills and expand their limits without having to enter the path of technical dives.
The course is designed to prepare you for safe dives to a depth of up to 40 m. During the class, you will learn the basics of planning and executing dives with short decompression (up to 15 minutes), using one decompression gas. Emergency procedures in various scenarios are also an important element of the training.

One of the advantages of completing the GUE Master Diver (Recreational Trimix) training is that it will make the transition to Technical Diver level 1 smooth and easier in the future. Procedures such as changing gas or responding to emergency situations will be an extension of what you will learn during the Master Diver training in the Tech1 course.
Each GUE course includes a swimming test. In this case, it is:
The theoretical part of the course covers a wide range of topics: from the basics of planning trimix dives, through the theory of decompression, to the physiology of diving with the use of various breathing mixtures. The key issues we will deal with are:
Practical classes focus on improving the skills necessary for safe and conscious diving to a depth of up to 40m. The practice includes exercises in controlled conditions – with increasing difficulty and at least two trimix dives. The key elements of the practical part are:
GUE strives to provide divers with the highest possible 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 anesthesia increases significantly around 30m. High levels of anesthesia make it difficult to make decisions and can lead to an increased risk of panic in emergency situations.
Third: no-decompression limits and the amount of breathing agent strongly limit the time that typical recreational divers can spend at greater depths.
Therefore, at depths greater than 30 m, GUE recommends the use of trimix, twin-cylinder set and additional gases to accelerate decompression. This increases safety and allows us to explore the places of interest for longer.
It’s true that the extra gas makes the whole equipment heavier on the surface. Fortunately, in the water, all the weight disappears. If you are already diving in a twin, you know that it is quite easy to get used to its weight. During the training, you will attach the side cylinder to yourself in the water or on the boat, where you only have to take a few steps with it.
If you still have concerns, during this training you can use smaller (lighter) cylinders, such as the 2x10L + stage 7L set.
It largely depends on you. We train in various places in Poland and abroad. This training can be organized in the vicinity of the Tri-City with diving in the Baltic Sea or on one of the Polish lakes or quarries. We can also conduct this training in warmer waters – for example, in Croatia, Spain or Egypt. If you have your own idea for a diving destination that you want to combine with training, let us know – we will come up with something 🙂

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.
