 Move towards high level exploration and project diving

The GUE Tech 2 Course at Tech Asia

GUE’s Technical Diver 2 course is designed to enhance deep diving proficiency while using helium breathing gases and oxygen-enriched decompression gases.

It is a rigorous class designed to prepare divers for depths of 75 m/246 ft and beyond, using multiple (three or more) stages or decompression gasses, to manage their gas, bottom time, and decompression exposure in a safe and comfortable manner.

Prerequisites

The applicant must :

• Be a minimum of 18 years of age
• Be physically and mentally fit and a non smoker
• Be able to swim
• Obtain a physician’s prior written authorization for use of prescription drugs, except for birth control, or for any medical condition that may pose a risk while diving
• Have passed the GUE Tech 1 course
• Must have a minimum of 25 logged Tech 1 level dives beyond GUE Tech 1 certification
• Have logged 50 dives in a double tank configuration
• Hold insurance that will cover diving emergencies such as hyperbaric treatment, e.g., from
  Dive Assure, DAN or equivalent.

What You Will Learn

You will, amongst other things, be learning about :

• Advanced mixed gas diving including hypoxic protocols
• Risks of decompression diving
• Gas management during deep dives
• Accelerated, omitted, and general decompression strategies
• Deep diving logistics and planning

Land drills that cover such aspects as :

• Dive team order and protocols
• Gas switching procedures and protocols, including hypoxic protocol
• Back gas and stage regulators/valve failure modes and management
• Use of a bottom stage and multiple decompression stages (tank rotations)
• Unconscious diver recovery
• Decompression gas sharing

All of this is integrated in to your actual training and experience dives.

Course Duration

The Technical Diver Level 2 course is normally conducted over six days. It requires a minimum of seven dives (including three trimix experience dives) and at least 48 hours of instruction, encompassing classroom lectures, land drills and in-water work.
