sounds like PADI.. breaking the classes down into smaller and smaller curriculum.

Had to stop since you only used the absurd metric system not showing both. The itle is also a bit misleading too.

I agree with the others' comments, the name changes only water down the GUE brand. GUE is considered the gold standard for dive training for a reason, don't dumb down to the rest of the industry.

I bought that light. I’ve had it for a couple of months. It’s been my back up. At the start of each dive, I just turn it off and onto to check it and Dive. I had to actually use it on the last dive and noticed that the batteries were very low. I also noticed when I got it out of my pocket that the pressure of the water pushes the head onto the body and turns it on and obviously when it’s in your pocket, you can’t see that it’s on This is a problem. So in future, I will have to unscrew it a little bit further so that when I push either end together, the light doesn’t turn on and hope that doesn’t cause flooding.

I was crying when I first was introduced to the changes of the names of rec1, rec2, rec3. The number of people I have heard being positive for this change can be counted on one hand. Thanks for the video 😃🐟

So instead of "nitrox" we call it "gue standard gas" ?

2 years ago, I bought my own AP Inspiration XPD Rebreather. And now, after nearly 100 dives I am happy for so beautiful dives in Lakes, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean around Mauritius etc. Next step will be the Normoxic / Trimix dives to explore deeper wrecks - OC is only for Bailout :)

Makes 100% sense. Great work.

I am SSI Advance Diver with 15 Trainings dive and 26 non dives (Max dives 30 meter) and interesting to take GUE fundamentals program, now I have to decide where to start? So before I start the fundamentals course? Do I have to take a double primer or dry suit primer before enrolling the fundamental course? Due to my dive experience Do I have to start performance diver or basic fundamentals? I may also consider to take a technical course in the future ? If you are reading this comment please help me thanks

hi

It's all about ISO norms and it's naming conventions. Nothing more.

Excellent information, thank you

Renaming a very poor marketing decision lost the its uniqueness and copying rarely works. GUE brand has been devalued.

Hmm, As a Tech 1, I’m planning to do a CCR1 once the house is finished and the toddler requires less intensive care. To achieve this, I understand I need to attend now an additional course first, as CCR1 isn’t possible without completing CCR-Fundi beforehand. Is that correct? (SOPs 10.1)

Looks like a fun way to extract more money from customers 😂

The new names are horrid, I get it... GUE is part of a world where you have to mass produce divers to stay afloat, so they are trying all they can to get more people coming in whilst not dropping the quality of their training... But blegh But there are some good changes too!

The rescue course is always a good one to have. Personally I think it should be taught sooner rather than later by all agencies. It’s disappointing to see that GUE still doesn’t allow for sidemount configuration even at tec fundamental level.

financial driven changes.... always a great way of improving education :)

Have they updated the gear configuration to allow sidemount on tec fundies or is GUE still intransigent?

To me the reason for the re-naming of the REC classes is quite obvious. GUE wants to sell more courses. Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver etc. is more or less self explaining. REC1, REC2 etc. wasn‘t and needed a lot of explaining…

The new names for the rec programs are horrible.

Hate the new Rec names. Now it just faded into the naming of all the other courses from all the other agencies which GUE is well above in training standards....but smarter minds than me I guess

I think renaming Rec 3 to "Master Diver" is horrible. In most agencies, "Master Diver" is a worthless title. A participation trophy, obtained by presenting x amount of dives in their logbook or completing x amount of specialties. Why not something like "Extended Range Diver"? But overall,i like the changes very much!

What happened to the Tech endorsement? Coming from GUE rec or Fundamental Rec pass? And for people with current REC 2 or Rec pass can they still upgrade with a simple tech endorsement?

Ben, I think there was one major change between your video and the released v10 standards - in the new curriculum T1 is no longer a prerequisite for CCR1, instead there is the new CCR Fundamentals course

Ich finde es ist schwer zu sagen, ob die Umbenennung der REC Kurse einen positiven oder negativen Einfluss hat. Die vielen Extrawürstchen haben der GUE ja immerhin auch einen teilweise abschreckenden Ruf als "Sekte" eingebracht. Auf manche wirkt es anziehend Teil einer "elitären" Gemeinschaft zu werden und auf manche wirkt es eher abschreckend. Ich persönlich vertrete die verbreitete Ansicht, dass die Qualität eines Kurses hauptsächlich vom Instruktor abhängt und nicht vom Verband. Es gibt Tauchlehrer die Abkürzungen nehmen und die Kurs Vorgaben teilweise ignorieren und es gibt ebenso Tauchlehrer die in ihren Kursen weit über die Vorgaben hinaus gehen mit einem persönlichen Qualitätsanspruch. Solange die GUE sich den Ruf bewahrt, dass ihre Instruktoren sehr viel Wert auf eine Qualitativ hochwertige Ausbildung legen und dies auch konsequent sicherstellen, dürfte die Umbenennung der Kurse eher einen positiven Effekt haben.

Thanks Ben, great insight! I too wonder what the renaming is for (maybe acceptance in holiday dive centers where GUE Rec1 was not always recognized? Or the alignment with the corresponding ISO standards?) One thoug: I think the final standards, as you say in your disclaimer in the end of the video, may have been adapted in terms of the CCR curriculum, which (at least my reading of the latest published version) can be accessed without the Tech1 and now also include a CCR Fundamentals (which, as you point out, may be the smart route in times of helium prices soaring)

Hallo Ben, Nachdem die Lampe zu flackern ( blinken) anfängt, schaltet sie sich dann automatisch komplett aus ??? Oder flackert sie weiter und wird nur schwächer ?? lg

Hello, looking to get some info on GUE/DIR drysuit dump valve position. I see that most drysuit manufacturers offer this option, but haven't been able to find information, photos or videos showing the location and benefits. Could you provide some insight?

Hi, what's the right clipping technique when I have a long hose boltsnap in this position? I have an existing boltsnap on my hose much closer to the regulator and it's coming in the middle of my hand so it seems the right position for my thumb to open it. I wanted to place one further out as you say here and compare how it clips but it falls next to my hand and not in the hand so I find it awkward to open and manipulate. Any tips on this? Thank you!

Are you an actual doctor? What kind of deegre do you have?

And what about on CCR ?

I haven't even done one single trimix dive in my life.. why am i watching this 😂

As a diver and smoker. From my perspective it doesnt really affect me. Im mentally so stable ehile scuba diving. In the other hand i cant say that im amazing in free diving yet i can hold breathe around 3.5-4 mins.

Nein Ben, du hast nicht Recht. 12lx200bar sind 2400barl. Es ist einfach das Produkt pxV und das ist bei konst. Temperatur proportional zur Gasmenge. Vorteil ist, dass man für jede Tiefe dann das resultierende Volumen ausrechnet, indem man durch den Umgebungsdruck teilt. Der ist dann an der Oberfläche 1bar und das Volumen ist 2400l. Bei 10m sind es 2 bar und man hat 1200l zur Verfügung. In der Flasche sind es halt 12l, da der Druck 200bar ist. Das Problem, um die Gasmenge in l auszudrücken ist, also 2400l ‘Gasmenge’, auf welchen Druck (und eigentlich auch Temperatur, die wir vernachlässigen) bezieht sich das? Mir sträuben sich als Ingenieur auch etwas die Haare um aus bar x l einfach liter zu machen, rein mathematisch.

How did you arrive at 14? This doesn't really seem to work on anything other than 32%.

If you dive deep (I had 7 cylinders I had to keep in test), you need a RB. If you only do sport diving, its expensive. Ive done deep and shallow, I just love my RB because its technical, quiet and if looked after, Very Safe.

Bel Torrente no Cala Gonone!!! Bel Torrente e nel territorio comunale di Baunei!!!

Great discussion & demonstration! Personally, I've been using the method described in ISE videos, but I recently found the Prusik Knot technique presented in a Prana Dive video that seems more elegant in that it better controls the wrapped line. I'm going to try it out. A thought: While many of the videos on tying boltsnaps address where to tie it along the length of the hose (ex: a handwidth from the 2nd stage), none discuss controlling the position of where you tie it radially around the circle of the hose. Acknowledging that the angle the boltsnap can make with the hose can be radially adjusted about 190 degrees when constrained by properly-tied cave line, having it in the wrong position around the circumference of the hose (since the hose cannot rotate) can make clipping it off awkward, as well as having it poke you in the cheek for the one used to clip off your reg. I find the correct position by setting up a tank and reg on my BC and running the hoses to find the right orientation as the hoses naturally curl to their diving positions. The key is using the natural curled position of the hoses in the diving position. I wrap a piece of painter's tape on the hose adjacent to the installation position, use a Sharpie to mark the best boltsnap location on the tape, then tie it on. That way, the boltsnap is optimally located for use when diving. Thanks and keep up the good work!

id smoke underwater, but i cant get the dang thing lit. I enjoy smoking more now because, people seem want to look down on me for what i do. Mind your own beez wax and have a lovely day.

Wie ich jetzt erst einmal aufstehen muss und mir ein Bier holen

I never realised that breathing was so expensive

Hello！！I'm Ellie， remember that we have a cooperation on our heated clothes? Waiting for your wonderful video on unboxing our products！

I have ordered 2 of them on 4 July and still they haven't delivered. I try to contact them by email and by chatting on their website for a refund. They answer after 3-4 days.

Great video with your Assistant! She/He’s adorable. I remember when I was that limber!
