Events Details:
Please Join us on Thursday December 15th @ 7:00pm for a free presentation hosted by Underwater Sports Seattle where GUE Instructor and deep cave diving explorer; Mark Messersmith will be presenting "Making A Difference Through Exploration" based on the past 20 years of research, exploration and conservation work that GUE has done in North Florida, that are now being replicated around the world!
This will be followed by our local Pacfic Northwest based GUE Instructor and shipwreck explorer; Guy Sockey presenting "GUE in the Pacific Northwest" that will cover how current and future local GUE research, exploration and conservation projects can effect change locally in our Pacific Northwest waters and how local divers like you can help make a difference.
GUE is a global non profit organization with members in 58 different countries and GUE members have regularly engaged in noteworthy international projects such as cave exploration in Florida and Mexico, or historical shipwreck survey and research in the Baltic. However, it has always been one of the core pillars of GUE that to think globally we have to act locally. In the last few years, GUE has made some important strides forward and perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the Pacific Northwest. GUE members in our region are part of a growing and vibrant training, exploration, and conservation program that is gaining interest and momentum and we are now one of the growth "hotspots" in the world.
Hope yo see lots of divers there who want to enlist their diving skills and experience and make a difference in our beloved Pacific Northwest waters!!
