GUE Tech 60

Course Overview & Training Objectives

GUE Tech 60 extends the Technical Diver 1 operational depth envelope from 51m to 60m (200ft) by introducing dual decompression stages (50% Nitrox and 100% Oxygen). The course utilizes standardized normoxic trimix (18/45) to maintain an Equivalent Narcotic Depth (END) strictly below 30m, eliminating cognitive impairment at depth. Divers refine DIR team mechanics, standardized gas switching, valve failure management, and minimum gas reserve ascent strategies.

Operational Envelope

  • Max Depth: 60m (200ft)
  • Decompression: Unlimited accelerated deco
  • Breathing Gases: GUE standard normoxic trimix (18/45); 2 standard deco stages (Nitrox 50 and 100% O2)
  • Equipment Rig: DIR Manifolded Twinset + 2 Deco Stages

Course Structure & Training Requirements

  • Course Duration: 4 to 5 Days
  • Required Training Dives: 5 in-water dives
  • Classroom & Theory: 16 hours instruction
