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.
This training will take place in the unique region of Calabria, Italy. After the training, it is worth staying for a few days to enjoy the unique surroundings. In addition to crystal clear water and rich underwater fauna and flora, you will also be able to dive on wrecks or explore areas full of historical attractions.
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.
In this particular training, we will focus on recreational diving .
An introduction to the Global Underwater Explorers system for recreational divers. The GUE Basic Fundamentals training is designed for recreational divers who want to refine their skills, improve their technique, and increase their diving awareness. This course provides an excellent introduction to the training system at GUE, enables a better understanding diving philosophy, and allows for the development of individual and team competencies. “Fundies” are also the first step to participate in various projects organised by Global Underwater Explorers .
