Okay, this one's more than a day!

From Friday night packing to Monday morning back to reality, GUE diver Andy Wilson takes us along for a full dive weekend. Road trips, dives, team dinners, and everything that happens in between.

Because sometimes the best part of diving is everything around it, too.

Thanks for sharing your weekend with us, Andy!

GoDiveMex is now an official Global Underwater Explorers Dive Center.
A big step for our team — and a reflection of how we train: high standards, real exploration, and diving done properly.
We're just getting started. 💥💯🔥

“I began my GUE journey unsure of where it would take me. I had low confidence, not knowing how to swim properly and struggled with the physical demands of diving. The NextGen Legacy Program has completely changed that. It connected me with an incredible global community that inspires and supports me. I’ve built both my personal diving skills and physical endurance in ways I never imagined. Growing up, this path was not obvious but I now feel a strong sense of belonging and purpose as I work towards becoming a GUE instructor and giving back the same support and inspiration to others that has been given to me.”

Another testimonial from our GUE Creator, Instructor intern and now Cave2 diver @the_real_andreaaa - who earnt a Traineeship through the NGLP in 2025 to do her Instructor Training Course at @base1_sardinia. Since then, she has overcome swimming fears, turned provisionals into passes, took part in the inaugural Young Divers Program, and ultimately en route to become a changemaker in her community and the next generation of divers that know her perseverance is inspirational.

For 2025 NextGen Trainee Andy Wilson, receiving a provisional rating in her GUE Cave 1 course wasn't a setback; it was a masterclass in humility. From navigating equipment hurdles to dodging the "comparison trap" of social media, Andy is proving that the path to excellence is rarely a straight line.

Read more about her journey of honest self-assessment and non-linear growth at the link in our bio!

Those who did not get into the white van keep doing what they doing is not for career or business just really doing it because it is our love and passion
Also, instructors who let students in on the class do more than a one-man or one-woman show. Listen to what they self-evaluate as running the class together, which I believe is unique and uplifting for both sides on and this kind of event makes possible.

Just like it says.

GROW AS A DIVER & BUILD COMMUNITY

Thank you for inviting @jasoncookdiving I’m had a good time, even as an introvert.

Thank you my Emotional support couples @shahein.abbaszadeh @i_vettehs
Roommate and my second brain. @the_real_andreaaa

It's amazing how life circles around in this community, it's good to see both old and new faces. Can't wait to see you all again, hopefully next time we can go to the water together

Thank you, everyone!
