As somebody who recently completed the "new" fundamentals course, I would state that Clare is an excellent Instructor. On the course that I attended we had the benefit of both Clare and John Kendall. It is clear to see the passion that they both have for diving and how much they believe in the GUE system. I would recommend either of them to anybody that wanted to learn more about diving and GUE.
The course itself is well structured and designed to stimulate learing- whilst the days are long I never found that either myself or the other students lacked the energy to concentrate. The skills learned whilst diving are well demonstrated and each student given more than sufficient time to learn how to perform them and to practice them. The benefit of having a video diver has been commented upon before- having the ability to play back the dive is a huge advantage.
Of the many courses that I have taken I would consider Fundamentals to be one of the best. Whilst the majority of the skills are similar to those found with other agencies the standard required to complete each skill is very high.
I know how hard it is to get a tech pass on fundies
