nova:I've been trying to explain to people that I do dive with some GUE trained divers and their skill is very high indeed. But they don't have a patent on skill. the same skills can be found elsewhere in the industry. Not every GUE trained diver is a work of art, some get rusty if they don't stay wet . So to me, the GUE training is only as good as the divers last dive. A fundies diver with 50 dives is still only a diver with 50 dives. I hope this makes sense.
Thats right! I would go as far as saying that GUE (or any other) training is only as good as what you choose to do w/ it. An unsafe mentality wont quickly be changed no matter who or where you gut training from.
