The newest gateway into GUE training — build a solid diving platform in just two days.
2 Days + eLearning
Includes Nitrox
From $795
Two days, four dives, and a completely different diver at the end of it.
Why Take This Course?
The GUE Performance Diver course is the newest gateway course into GUE training — a more accessible way for newly certified divers to personally experience what GUE is all about, without compromising on standards or quality of training.
Many divers feel they need more time during initial training to work on buoyancy, trim, and propulsion. This course maximises your time in the water using GUE's intelligent online learning platform, which adapts to focus on what you don't already know — meaning more time diving, less time in the classroom.
You'll learn GUE single or double-tank equipment configuration, trim and buoyancy, propulsion techniques including the backward kick, gas sharing, and ascent training — with real progress possible in just two days. The course also includes the use of nitrox, and works well as a confidence-building supplement even if you don't plan to pursue further GUE training.
