The GUE Basic Fundamentals course begins the moment you apply.
Once you’ve paid the registration fee, you gain access to the GUE Master Learning platform to start independently study the theory.
The practical part consists of at least six open water dives.
During the in-water sessions, we focus on key skills such as: precise buoyancy control, refining trim and balance, advanced propulsion and maneuvering techniques, team diving principles in the project diving context, fundamental scuba skills (Basic 5), valve manipulation (valve drill), gas-sharing procedures (S-drill), proper use of a surface marker buoy (SMB), ascents using a minimum decompression profile.
During the training, we will dive in the Kashubian Lakes and in the Baltic Sea (the Gulf of Gdańsk).
GUE Basic Fundamentals is the ideal training for people who want to build a solid foundation for further development in recreational and technical diving, as well as to work in diving projects.
The Basic Fundamentals program is fully consistent with the GUE Technical Fundamentals course. If you decide to continue your education, you can go through a shortened version of the technical fundamentals course – without having to repeat the whole class from the beginning.
