Congratulations to Lucja and Tom who both successfully completed the GUE Fundamentals course this last weekend, our first for the new year. Well done guys, very well deserved!

Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) www.gue.com is a non-profit organization formed by leading explorers, researchers, and educators; these individuals are dedicated to the training of divers as well as the study and protection of the aquatic realm. GUE and its associated projects are responsible for conducting some of the world’s most remarkable dives, setting numerous world records in the process.

A Team of GUE divers consisting of Jarrod Jablonski, Casey McKinlay, Liam Allen, Richard Lundgren, Kirill Egorov & JP Bresser have successfully executed a project, diving the wreck of the USS Atlanta @ Guadalcanal, Solomon Island. The Atlanta rests at 130 meters depth and has a rich history. Goal of the team is to document and explore this monument of the Pacific war. A documentary about the project will be released later this year.
