Yes, 32% is what you use to 100 feet. GUE goes to trimix deeper. Richer mixes are only used for deco.
So if you go to NC to dive the wrecks, and they supply you with 28%, you can't use it?

Really? It only trains you in 32% Nitrox%?
where do you go from there?
So what happens when UTD divers go to a place where 32% mix is not available? From what I understand, they DIR community does not believe in carrying computers also. When short-cuts do not work and when dive computers are also abandoned, where do you go from there?
To your local dive shop to sign up for AOW and nitrox so you can get back to diving.
I am looking to continue my training and was curious if anyone had any feedback on how well the GUE Fundamentals cert is received when travelling? I travel to Florida, Caribbean and Mexico and would like to participate in some of the "advanced" charters. Deeper bull shark dives, etc...
I definitely feel I will be a far better diver after completing the GUE course compared to the AOW specialties, but I'm really curious is if it's worth obtaining both.
Does anyone receive any push back when presenting their GUE cert as an advanced and get limited to 60' depths, no drifts, etc.?
Thanks
