GUE Primer
UK Price – £200 per student (includes Instructor expenses)
Europe Price – €200 per student (excludes Instructor expenses)
GUE Registration Fee: $35US
Purpose
The GUE Primer course is designed to introduce students to the essential skills required for sound diving practice. The course is non-certification; therefore completion of this class has no bearing on future GUE dive training.
The GUE Primer is designed to accomplish the following goals:
- Provide the recreational diver an opportunity to advance his/her basic diving skills, thereby developing more comfort, confidence and competence in the water
- Provide an introduction to GUE training while demonstrating the techniques necessary for success in future GUE courses
Prerequisites
- Must meet GUE general course prerequisites as outlined in section 1.6
- Students that are not able to meet the prerequisites in section 1.6 are able to participate in the GUE Primer Course, provided they obtain a physician’s written approval to dive and disclose this information to the GUE instructor before the onset of training. Physician clearance to dive does not obligate GUE or a GUE representative to clear a trainee for diving; this remains at the sole discretion of the instructor.
- Must be a certified open-water diver from a recognized training agency
- Must be a minimum of fourteen years of age
Duration
The GUE Primer Course must be conducted over at least two days, encompassing both classroom and inwater work. Course requirements include a minimum of 6 hours of academics & land drills and a minimum of four in-water sessions. Course time should total at least 14 hours encompassing classroom, land drills and in-water work.
