Technical Diving-Global Underwater Explorers (GUE)

Karim Hamza is our featured speaker in March. He will be talking abut Technical Diving as taught by Global Underwater Explorers (GUE).

Karim has been fortunate to travel the world and join several expeditions documenting ship wrecks and ghost net clean-ups. His love for the ocean is only surpassed by the love for his wife who is his primary team mate on conservation initiatives in our oceans.
