action? Diving is all about having fun, so come and see one of the
most exciting ways to have more of it as well as improve your comfort,
confidence and control in the water - with the great gear we have to

12 years old to 80+... Male or female... New diver or instructor...
you are welcome!
Our passion is diving! Our end result is FUN. This is our message for
this event. We obtain all this by creating competent, confident,
comfortable, divers.
This seminar will be geared to the recreational side of diving, with
an explanation of where GUE and all our diving develops. This event is
an avenue to instill a new passion for diving and the education
experience and equipment needed to have so much more fun with this
sport.
Outline
At the GUE Seminar & Demo Day, you'll have the opportunity to find out
what "DIR" really means and what GUE is all about. We will touch on
the fundamentals of GUE/DIR such as skills and procedures, equipment
considerations and team diving. You'll also be able to dive a full set
up of GUE standard equipment.
After a quick introduction and briefing, we'll get ready for diving.
You will be custom fitted to a back plate and wing, and outfitted with
tank, regulator and fins. (If you have your own gear, we can check
your fit, hose routing, etc.) You will then have the opportunity to
dive the gear. You can receive guidance in small groups from a GUE
instructor to improve your buoyancy, stability and mobility in the
water.
After lunch, we'll be reviewing the video from the pool and continuing
the morning’s discussions at PG Dive in Newton. With two GUE
instructors in attendance, there is plenty of opportunity to have any
of your questions on equipment, philosophy and training.
Whether you enjoy reef diving on a single tank, or deep wreck or cave
diving with mixed gases, come see how GUE and DIR diving can help make
you a more confident, competent and comfortable diver....and
ultimately allow you to have more fun and adventure.
