Steve,

As far as where you can dive, you'll go to many of the popular spots =
when you do your level 1 - including at least a few dives at Ginnie. In =
the course, they'll also explain what your training limitations are, but =
I'll tell you, that most of the caves in the N. Central Florida area are =
accessible to someone with a GUE Cave 1 cert.

As for breathing the long hose, if you're considering a GUE course, you =
need to spend some quality time with their website. One of the essays =
there explains the logic of breathing the long hose : =

And the rest of the site.

Good luck with the course,
