  The
GUE Fundamentals course is designed to cultivate the essential skills
required by all sound diving practice, irrespective of level or environment.
A prerequisite for all GUE classes, save Recreational Diver level 1 course,
GUE Fundamentals performs a three-fold function:.
1) It provides the recreational diver, who does not desire further diver
training, with an opportunity to advance his/her basic diving skills,
thereby developing more comfort, confidence, and competence in the water
2)It provides the diver with aspirations of more advanced diver training
with the tools that will contribute to a greater likelihood of success.
3) It provides non-GUE trained divers with a gateway to GUE training.
Your training will provide an indepth overview,

Required Dive Skills and Drills
1. Demonstrate proficiency in safe diving techniques; this would include
pre-dive preparations, inwater activity, and post-dive assessment.
2. Must be able to swim at least 300 yards/275 meters in under fourteen
minutes without stopping. This test should be conducted in a swimsuit
and, where necessary, appropriate thermal protection.
3. Must be able to swim a distance of at least 16 yards/15 meters on a
breath hold
4. Demonstrate awareness of team-member location and a concern for safety,
responding quickly to visual cues and dive-partner needs.
5. Efficiently and comfortably demonstrate how to donate gas to an out-of-gas
diver.
6. Efficiently and comfortably demonstrate how to donate gas to an out-of-gas
diver followed by an ascent to the surface, utilizing minimum decompression.
7. Comfortably demonstrate at least three propulsion techniques that would
be appropriate in delicate and/or silty environments; students should
demonstrate comprehension of the components necessary for a successful
backward kick.
8. Demonstrate a safe and responsible demeanor throughout all training.
9. Demonstrate proficiency in the ability to deploy a surface marker while
using a spool.
10. Demonstrate proficiency in underwater communication.
11. Demonstrate basic equipment proficiency and an understanding of the
GUE equipment configuration.
12. Demonstrate dive-rescue techniques, including effective management
of an unconscious diver. Differences between the management of an unconscious
diver and a convulsing diver should be noted.
13. Demonstrate a comfortable demeanor while swimming without a mask,
in touch contact.
14. Demonstrate good buoyancy and trim, i.e. approximate reference maximum
of 30 degrees off horizontal while remaining within 5 feet/1.5 meters
of a target depth. Frequency of buoyancy variation and the divers control
of their buoyancy and trim are important evaluation criteria.
15. Demonstrate aptitude in the following open-water skills: mask clearing,
mask removal and replacement, regulator removal and exchange, long-hose
deployment.
16. Demonstrate safe ascent and descent procedures.
17. Demonstrate proficiency in executing a valve drill.
18. Demonstrate proficiency with a primary light by using it during all
skills except SMB deployment.*
19. Demonstrate efficient deployment and stowage of a reserve light.*
20. Demonstrate an efficient valve drill with double tanks.*
21. Demonstrate good buoyancy and trim, i.e. approximate reference maximum
of 20 degrees off horizontal while remaining within 3 feet/1.0 meters
of a target depth. Frequency of buoyancy variation and the divers control
of their buoyancy and trim are important evaluation criteria.*
