Gue BE

About

GUE-BE is a non-profit organisation founded by and for GUE-divers. It is a diving club that promotes and facilitates diving together, the exchange of information, participation to and the start up of projects and so much more.

The main goal of GUE-BE is bringing together a group of divers with the same ideas and the same passion and thus increasing the joy in diving. Therefore GUE-BE organises at least one activity each month. Most of the time this will be diving activities. It’s always nice to catch up, share experiences, get to know new people and most of all dive together.

We also offer workshops, lectures, movienights, projects and more. In brief, regardless your experience, if you are convinced of the GUE philosophy, GUE-BE has a lot to offer!

Of course, everyone is welcome on one of our activities to get to know our organisation and its members or you can join the Belgian GUE community right now.

The Board

The Board is a small group of three GUE enthusiasts who try to run GUE-BE as smooth as possible. They are supported by some active members.

If you want to organize something that is GUE-BE related then the board is obliged to help you with your quest.

Projects

GUE-BE supports projects in which team diving is a must. Over the years we had some great achievements.

We are doing projects in Belgium and beyond. GUE divers are used for complex dives in which various skills are needed such as decompression, video, photo, logistics etc.
