Global Underwater Explorers encourages individuals to volunteer time and resources to research projects like the Woodville Karst Plain Project. The WKPP has directly and indirectly influenced technical diving gear design and configuration, diver training and fitness, all the while setting new records for cave exploration at depths over 300 feet.

Divers or non-divers interested in participating with or supporting the efforts of the WKPP should contact Project Coordinators Sonya Tittle or Todd Leonard via email. Please see email contact information at the bottom of this page. Divers must be GUE Cave 1 certified to join and GUE Cave 2 certified to actively participate in team diving activities. Applications are evaluated throughout the year. Applicants are required to submit member profile, authorization forms, releases, copies of GUE cave cards and proof of DAN Master Insurance. Membership is considered based upon meeting the training requirements, availability for project events and areas of expertise for non-diving members (IT, geology, biology, archeology, hydrogeology, video/photo, etc). Yearly team dues in the amount of $45 are required upon membership approval. New diver members will be expected to participate in orientation activities with team members for several months to cover support procedures, equipment configuration, site protocol and skills specific to WKPP activities. This commitment is necessary to ensure the new diver has the skills and information necessary to safely support team operations. General questions may be forwarded to mckinlay@gue.com.
