This course is perfect for those divers who have completed their PADI Advanced Open Water or equivalent and are looking to improve their buoyancy, control and awareness underwater to see more, be more comfortable and prepare for upcoming higher level courses. Earning a Rec pass on this course is a pre-requisite for enrolling on all Dive Centre Manly Technical diving courses.
Buoyancy, trim, stability and awareness are all essential to be a good, and most importantly safe, diver. Without this solid foundation it is difficult to complete tasks fully under control i.e. taking a still, close-up photo neutrally buoyant the right distance from your subject in a mild current, or sending up an SMB whilst holding your depth and being aware of what’s going on around you. Good, stable divers are the most comfortable divers and not only do they enjoy their dives to the maximum, they tend to see and notice more!
Exceptional buoyancy control, efficient finning and quality diving does not come from simply diving lots: being shown the right way and then practicing is the quickest and surest way to success. The Fundamentals course is unique as a course tailored to your specific needs and goals- whether that is to be able to comfortably and enjoyable cruise around a reef or preparing to strap on lots of tanks and go deep on a technical course.
This course is a pre-requisite for Technical diving as after earning your Rec pass you’ll be fully ready to take on board the increased complexity of twin tanks, stage tank handling and safe, controlled decompression diving.
“Instructor Stephen Ho is a very active and dedicated advanced, technical and deep diver, with a high level of comforting patience and discipline while professionally guiding students through course curriculum and skills. This instructor exemplifies the high diving and instruction standards that are apparent for GUE, and is able to do so with a calm, safe and fair demeanor, presumably by virtue of his existing experience in training recreational and technical divers, as well as his own continuous efforts of mastery and preparation.”

“I did my GUE fundamentals with Steve: it changed my life. I learned how to back kick, frog kick, how to team position and SMB skills. This is the best course I’ve ever done. Steve is a top notch instructor. Many thanks to Dive Center Manly!”

“Steve was a fantastic instructor and a real example for new GUE divers. I only wish the course would last longer than two weekends.”
