"As GUE's Training Director and professional educator, I travel the world teaching Fundamentals, Technical and Rebreather courses. For all, I document through video, the students performance to help evaluate their skills. My only choice is the Gates Housings. I love the size, accessibility to the controls, interchangeability of the lenses and most of all, the depth capabilities."
