Our guest speaker this months will be Tom Figueroa, a Diving Instructor with Global Underwater Explorers. Tom is a GUE and PADI Dive Instructor working in the Ventura and Los Angeles County areas in Southern California.

Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) began because a small group of curious divers yearned to develop underwater projects that would enable them to explore where no one had gone before. The hard work and total dedication of this group of risk takers led to the formation of an international community of passionate divers who develop and pursue diverse projects around the world.

Whether you are at the beginning of your dive adventure or have been certified for years, we at GUE want to assure you that our training programs were developed for you.

Divers committed to personal excellence, physical fitness, and mental toughness who are keen to explore and conserve the aquatic realm will find a home at GUE. Multitudes of divers who support an array of exciting, challenging exploration and conservation programs are realizing their dreams every day in every continent on Earth.

Each month, AVDD hosts general meetings on the second Monday at 7pm. Meetings typically run about an hour and include announcements of upcoming events, a presentation on an interesting dive-related topic, and a fun raffle. Check back here for more information on this month’s speaker!
