New GUE Standards & Procedures

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but it looks like GUE has released their updated S&P. This includes their new recreational diver course and updates to the fundies course.

Thanks for pointing that out. Quite interesting. It looks like Rec Triox is now called Recreational 2?

Very usefull link, thank you. It makes me reconsider which equipment to use for my fundies. The "rec level 2" appears to be the intermediate between a "rec fundies pass" and tech diving. For somebody like me, who is relatively new to diving and does not have lots of other cert-cards, this was a logical step anyway.
Well, I will decide later what I will do.

That's no problem for a diver

I'm really glad that Tec 3 Required Dive Skill No11 hasn't been altered

11. Demonstrate the ability to run/retrieve a guideline while scootering.

Still haven't worked out how you retrieve a line whilst scootering, can anyone enlighten me

But then again, I'm not Tec 3, maybe you get to be Tec 3 by working it out.............

That's no problem for a diver

400 (yards per minute) = 1200 feet per minute = 11.849676 knots

scootering is only around 200fpm / 2 knots...

and i think you need a 78 foot long waterline to get a 11.85 knot hull speed in a displacement hull?
