SCUBA DIVER

(RECREATIONAL SUPERVISED DIVER)

WHY TAKE THIS COURSE?

Are you interested in visiting the underwater world, but not quite sure how comfortable you’ll feel there? Get a taste of what it is like to be underwater with the Scuba Diver course with GUE.

This class teaches you all the basic skills required for a safe and comfortable dive while limiting the depth of your dives to 12 m/40 ft. Because of your limited experience, you will always be diving under the supervision of a dive professional.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The GUE Scuba Diver course may be the best first step if you want to dive under the supervision of dive professionals.

You might want to get the extra care they can provide, or you might just prefer to take on new experiences in small increments.

This could also be a good solution if time constraints prevent you from taking a full course in one go.

It is also recommended for young people, as it limits their exposure to depth and puts them under adult supervision.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

Course outcomes include, but are not limited to: fundamental principles of diving, how the equipment works, and how your body is affected by pressure changes in the water.

You will learn fun skills that will make you feel confident and competent underwater as well as help you to overcome some basic problems that may occur during your dives.

A GUE Scuba Diver certification means that divers will be certified to dive under the supervision of a dive professional to a maximum depth of 40 ft/12 m.

Applicants for a GUE Supervised Diver program must:

  • Be a minimum of 12 years of age.
  • Be physically and mentally fit.
  • Be a non-smoker.
  • Be able to swim.
  • Obtain a physician’s prior written authorization for use of prescription drugs, except for birth control, or for any medical condition that may pose a risk while diving.
