Fundamentals, technical, cave and CCR training for divers who want to become more capable, more aware and more effective as part of a team.
GUE training is progressive. The right course depends on the foundation you already have, where you are now, and what you want to do next.
Build the foundation for better diving. Performance Diver, Doubles Primer and Technical Fundamentals, with Technical Fundamentals leading into GUE technical, cave and CCR training.
Explore Fundamentals →GUE Cave 1 and Cave 2 training.
For divers ready to apply strong fundamentals in an overhead environment.
Cave 1 requires Technical Fundamentals.
Explore cave training →GUE Technical Diver 1 and 2 training.
For divers progressing into deeper, helium-based open-circuit diving.
Explore technical training →GUE CCR training on JJ-CCR and Symbios, from CCR Fundamentals through advanced technical rebreather training.
Explore CCR training →Good instruction isn't about collecting another certification. It's about becoming a better diver.
Training is conducted within GUE standards, using appropriate, properly maintained equipment, conservative planning and clear limits throughout.
Expect clear, direct feedback about what works, what doesn't and what you can do better. It should never be personal, but it won't always be comfortable.
The goal isn't simply to pass a class. You should leave with the ability to assess your own diving and continue improving without an instructor standing beside you.
Trim, buoyancy, propulsion and team skills are foundations. The point is to use them to make more complex diving safer, more controlled and more enjoyable.
Mexico is my home base. I live here, dive here and work with the local diving infrastructure every day.
I work with Zero Gravity Dive Center to provide GUE training alongside the cave-diving infrastructure, support and logistics that make serious training here practical.

I'm John Kendall, a GUE instructor, technical and cave diver, explorer and underwater photogrammetrist. I teach across GUE's technical, cave and CCR pathways, both in Mexico and internationally.
I work with Zero Gravity Dive Center in Mexico and teach across GUE's technical, cave and CCR pathways. My own diving is rooted in exploration, and that shapes how I approach training: strong fundamentals, good judgement and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.
Tell me where you are with your diving, what you want to do next and where you'd like to train. I'll help you work out the most sensible route.
