Congratulations, Sammy girl!!! You're an amazing person and I know the dedication it took, frustration, and sense of accomplishment you must have upon completion of your class.

I was curious about GUE and why it always brought out such heated emotions within the diving community. Given how polarizing the topic is on SB I did not tell many I was doing fundies last week mainly cause I did not want to deal with the naysayers.
Coming fresh off the fundies class and my first experience with a GUE class, I still do not understand the animosity toward GUE and its teaching. It's all about a streamlined rig, safe, precision and team diving which obviously is not for everyone
Hi Sam!
A huge congratulations girlfriend ! Can't wait to share your enthusiasm/progress! Thanks for the great report. Enjoy London.
I'm pretty new here but definitely agree, from my first introduction to DIR diving I never understood what all the resistance and controversy towards it is about.
All my experience /research so far indicates - DIR is simply the best/safest dive education available that freely offers well researched guidelines to acquire amazingly functional/streamline gear.
Why would anyone argue with that? I am a bit perplexed.
I have now taken GUE classes from four different instructors, and have yet to hear anybody yell, or insult or demean students. That doesn't mean you don't get a dispassionate and occasionally damning debrief, but it's not done in a tone or attitude to make anybody just feel bad. They want you to IMPROVE, is all.
