What do GUE/DIR divers look for in a learn to dive class for friends and family?

[PfcAJ]

if the rumors of a cavern class are true (I certainly hope not) there will be even more ways to separate students from their money.

cave equivalent of rec3.

Just curious, for those of you who have said "X isn't even sure if they like diving" -- why not have them do a discover scuba diving experience?

I think for the people that want to check off that bucket list item of "I tried scuba" a properly run DSD can be a great thing.

I agree. discover scuba is fun

As an instructor I have always found DSD dives to be the most rewarding and the absolutely most stressful. For me.

every single student mentions the great value of GUE courses

I respectfully disagree.

I respectfully disagree.

If you disagree, what's your argument then? Im curious

Per "Beyond the Daylight Zone", there used to be one.

I'm curious as well. I just finished GUE fundies last weekend (rec pass, tec provisional), and it was awesome! I'd be curious to learn why someone didn't like it. It is hard work, a significant time and energy commitment. My only complaint is that I did not take it sooner, but that is on me.

Never in a gue course.

Cavern zone. Cave class.

I believe you would be hard pressed to find someone who "didn't like it." The assertion that @compressor challenged was that "every single student mentions the great value of GUE courses."
