"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great." Mark Twain

Hi, I'm Clare Gledhill and I teach Fundamentals for GUE here in the UK and anywhere else that would like me to drop by. I'm an active advanced trimix diver, diving with DIR UK at home and diving caves abroad wherever I can.  I only teach for GUE.

From the Caribbean reefs, to the Baltic sea, to the English Channel, DIR principles are now being put into practice. Thousands of divers have found that the skills taught in DIR courses help them reach their full potential as divers.

GUE diver training looks to take the skills you have as a diver, buoyancy, awareness, buddy rescue skills, gas management, decompression management and refine them to a point where you become more comfortable in the water.

Whether you are looking to do shallow reef diving on a single tank, or deep wreck or cave diving with mixed gases, DIR principles taught via GUE training will help you build a foundation which will help make you more comfortable in the water. Are you up to the challenge?

I've put various bits and bobs on here which I hope will be of interest to you.  Some papers and research, some skill tips and training advice, and what it is all about - some trip reports about diving in wrecks and caves around the world.  I'm passionate about my diving and enjoy helping other people get that way about their own.

Have a look around my site, and contact me with any questions or suggestions - and dive safe!
