Global Underwater Explorers(GUE) emerged out of a shared desire to safely explore and protect the underwater world and to improve the quality of scuba, technical, and cave diving education, as well as aquatic research. Our channel highlights and dives into the details of diving around the world. By showcasing exploration efforts in shipwreck diving and submerged caves as well as conservation efforts on coral reefs, we hope to bring a purpose to your diving and give you the training needed to be safe and have fun.

I want to dive with the Atomic Aquatics SS1 (inflator/regulator) as my secondary for open water recreational diving. Would you recommend the long hose setup and also is a 1.5m hose adequate? I haven’t been able to see many practical videos about (inflator/regulator combos) so I’d appreciate your advice.
The music during all the talking is so distracting and annoying. It’s super dramatic for mask straps. It is the same in all the videos and makes me not want to watch them even though I like GUE
If you want it again it's connected to the dsmb so he main you inflate then drop it instead of getting tangled in all your line he suggests this I think it's a good time hopefully won't need it but the more knowledge the better thanks
I'm gonna try that technique while gearing up, that seems like a great idea. Especially when diving with heating there's a lot of stuf to be arranged on the right side. Managing the cord during diving is a lot easier for me with a 1,98m (6'6") body, i just extend my arm... Actually i got a slightly longer light cord to be able to use the reel more safely (to keep it further away from my body). Other than that I keep on being amazed how universal all the gear is between GUE divers.
During a pool session trying to find my trim, I strapped the weightbelt to the tank (not a good idea in OW). By moving the center of mass upwards, this "problem" became even more apparent. As soon as I leaned too much forward or backward I would start pitch without control. Most PADI trim theory doesn't seem to mention the importance of a centered or low center of mass.
Kelly did you heard about redundancy? One only piece with two loops is not two pieces of independant failure (Not much time ago GUE was against dive computers -see baker's dozen, miss that GUE!)
@@square1performance373 Oh finest irony. What you dont know is Shearwater DCIEM lastest version is 1992 and Buhlmann model for helium deco is Ernst und Mock mod. Dont be a stroke, do your homework!
@dirspain wow your one of those eh? Keyboard warrior at its finest! Best of luck to you. FYI comments your making is what gives GUE a bad name. Perhaps get with the times and start embracing the change and good that's happening. Cheers mate!
With development in technologies and understanding of theory behind diving, GUE has grown into this process cautious and correct. This was very present with the development of the CCR program. I teach my students how to use manual profiling in addition to the use of deco planner and dive computers. The computer is used as a guide to validate what the student already knows and planned. This update is reflective in the newest version of the Tec 1 materials. With regards to redundancy the behind a strap the argument could be made to why not dive with 2 computers or bottom timers? Additionally having a bungee failure on a dive computer would not seem like a life threating failure as your team mate is always there as a means of redundancy and you could simply hold the broken computer in your hand. Last bit this video I'm explaining the simplistic approach to setting up a bungee on a Perdix dive computer allowing use for 2 different exposure systems. What computer or bottom timer you use is completely up to you. The 10 years I've been teaching for GUE and 14 years affiliated, shearwater computers are some of the most common I see. This video serves as a useful tool to that of setting up a bungee and not intended for explanation of what computer to use for deco models. I hope this helps clear any confusion up you may have. If you have any questions about standards and GUE programs your always welcome to reach out to me for anything. Thanks
I disagree. The whole point of using one bungee is how easily adapting it is for different types of thermal protection. With 2 independent straps you would have to adjust twice each time you change you thermal protection of choice. The concept is applied to harness strap for a backplate, single vs dual bladder BCDs you name it. So what Mr. Collwill has shown in this video is very much GUE philosophy to me.
You can add a knot to retain the bungee on either side on the inside. Seems pretty clever to me. 5000 plus dives and never had a bungee break on a dive and only had it break once on the surface.
This video is intended for allowing a simplistic approach to the setting up the bungee on the shearwater Perdix to allow different exposure systems. GUE standards do not specify this process or how to setup the bungee on bottom timers or computers. Retention can be made by placing an additional knot in the middle on each side when the loops are fully extended. This would retain the computer in the event of a failure. Bungee failure is not very likely and with keeping this as simple as possible the additional knots I didn't see fit to add to the video. If you have any questions your welcome to reach out to me directly. Thanks
The length will very pending on the persons wrist size and exposure suits they use. I find its best to leave a little length on the bungee and adjust on one end before cutting it off. Make sure you try both suits on and test the tightness before making your final adjustment and trimming it.
I really enjoyed this course. Working underwater with all the tasks divided in the team, working with all the new equipment, working together towards the goal you set yourselves and then achieving it. The fun part might be the diving itself but without all the planning, preparation, debriefing and processing the data you will not have the efficient and safe dive. And you will not have the results you were looking for and why you made the dive the first place. Handing over the final report as a result of your work as a team is a great feeling.
Hi Harry, I’ve recently bought myself a backplate & wing having dove a jacket style BCD for a number of years now.. What length should the SPG hose be for a single tank DIR style set-up?… Many thanks in advance, Dean.
I would try with a 26 inch high pressure for single tank. A 24 inch may also weak if you are a bit smaller in torso size. However with dry suit and a bit taller diver I find the 26 inch more comfortable for single tank (and then a bit shorter for double set up).
I can blame Milke Aqua Corq Magazine for changing my life since 1992. Mike trail blazed! kept the company of fellow blazers too. I cert'd for Tri-mix in 1993 and did 50-70 dives annually since. I recall mixing the first known Nitrox in 1992 using a O2 analysor or built form a cheap multi-meter with a vandagraph oxygen cell . Worked perfect too. Still have it today, In my mixing station. Thank you Mike, Shek, Tom, Bret and Billy 👏👏👏
I wonder why is nobody talking about this fake record anymore, when there is great analysis like the one discussed in this video. I believe Guinness lost its credibility.
Fully agree about the music. Thanks for watching in full, because you must have watched all of it to know it is useless. Maybe you are not in the target group.
well.. if you like the content we make, we also have to highlight the other content to be found on GUEtv, and we think it's fair that people get given a chance to see some highlights!
Not done any GUE courses yet but these are great videos. Going into topics I don't even think about. Anyway not sure why people are bitter grumpy about the subs. Way better than youtube's anyway especially when viewed from youtube's home page. Good job to whoever did them, increasing your click through rate.
About the NERD 2, I would argue that as a GUE diver you know your NDL and would not need to check your computer so often. But yeah it makes it a bit easier. And as a mCCR diver I would like my PO2 in my face instead of a LED HUD, that could be a backup solution as well. Diving with multiple gasses OC would also not make the NERD 2 less useful since your NERD would be on your longhose and not on your stage hose. Unless you go for the helment solution as a sidemount diver. I would still consider adding the NERD 2 for my OC dives if I already own it for my CCR dives.
