Yeah will be very interested in that mate. In some ways the thing that put some off the GUE courses is that you may fail - surely that is the point but i know I'll be wetting myself when it comes around as Chris Boardman says in his review - being made to look stupid is not fun!
mind you fu@king up and dying is much worse.
Most of the best instructors 'fail' students at some point. Surely that is the point in a way!

Hi

I find that the GUE instructors are more like mentors. There is a standard you must get to and the instructor will try and help you get there. Pass, fail, or provisional you are a better diver after the course, at least I have never heard anyone say otherwise. Treat the course as a workshop.

Indeed mate seems to be the way its not really a driving test or something suppose its progressive and like everything go away and practise and practise some more with a little more and you should be ok then

Train hard, Dive easy

Bob,

When did they introduce the 30/30 option? I havent read about that and I didn’t notice it in the manuals (Fundamentals and Beyond the Daylight Zone)

Can this be used as single tank gas or do they insist on rich nitrox to flush the He at the end of the dive?

If not, then do they simply ignore the He or is there a compensation on the deco?

Hi

30/30 was always a standard gas, and can be used as a single tank gas, providing the gas management plans allow for it.

We treat the gas the same as 32% nitrox for NDL and deco purposes, so in that way, yes, we ignore the helium (or rather, we ignore the computer algorithms hatred of helium )

It's exactly like Andy said. The GUE Rec Triox class covers he use of 30/30.
