Teaching and taking training at a GUE Dive Center will add an extra value to each course.

Choosing Portofino Divers as the dive base for your training means optimizing the logistics, no waist of time, getting all the means for a successful course.
Our goal is to assists the instructor and the students in achieving the best results during the class.

The following benefits and incentives are dedicated to GUE instructors and students for all 2013 :

For recreational training programs, all the gear is available to the students for rent free of charge for all the duration of the class, except drysuits, primary light systems and dpv which are available for rent at a special rate.
For technical training programs we offer 50% discount on our equipment rental rates.
All the cylinders needed for recreational and technical courses, either the back gas or the deco gasses, are free of rental charge for both the candidates and the instructor.

All the costs for nitrox and trimix refills are included in the dive center fee of each course, it means that there are no additional costs for tank refills.
For all GUE courses even the cost for the instructor gas fills is included in the dive center fee when he is teaching a full class.

Also the instructor can travel to our facility without even one bolt snap since he can use our equipment free of charge, primary light included !  Anyway, if possible, we suggest to bring at least the undergarment and the drysuit which are more "personal" items.

Our goal is not only to offer great savings in terms of costs but also considerably improvement of travelling conditions which is one of the reasons why Portofino Divers is an excellent solution for courses, as instructors and students will find at their disposal all of the components required for setting up GUE/DIR diving equipment.

Another great advantage for both instructors and students choosing Portofino Divers as the dive facility for training and for experiencing, is our repairwork service for any part of the equipment which may fail during the course or during your diving holiday. We provide repairworks and spare parts for DUI drysuits, Halcyon products, all many other accessories and components  for the GUE equipment  configuration. In case a quick repair is not possible, we have any part for rent to save your training dives.
