Event website: GUE Sweden
Date: July 13, 2024 to July 20, 2024
Description: After finalising mapping and documenting ghost nets in the Baltic Sea in 2023, Operation Spöknät/Ghost Net will now turn to retrieve nets in Blekinge and Kalmar regions with support from the relevant Regional Administrative Boards. A first focus will be in the area where the two regions meet in the southern part of Sweden.
The activities are planned for five consecutive weeks and the goal the different weeks is similar; to retrieve and document as much ghost nets as possible taking weather, diving conditions and diver´s experience into consideration to be able to do this in a safe and efficient way. Please note, however, that the area is exposed and very sensitive to changing weather conditions.
The dates are as follows;
⁃ 13-20 July - minimum requirement GUE Fundamentals Techpass
⁃ 20-27 July - minimum requirement GUE Fundamentals Techpass
⁃ 27 July to 3 August - minimum requirement GUE Tech 1 and DPV1
⁃ 3-10 August - minimum requirement GUE Tech 1 and DPV1
⁃ 10-17 August - minimum requirement GUE Tech 1 and DPV1
In connection with the start of the separate weeks, retrieval training will be offered for all divers.
Diving will take place on all depths from 25-50 metres which is the maximum depth of the project. We dive standard GUE protocols on nitrox 32 or 18/45. Bottom time normally 30-60 minutes depending on tasks. Bottom temperatures in the Baltic Sea remains low also in the summer at around 5 degrees Celsius, but temperature on decompression is normally 10-15 degrees.
Travel to the project location by flight, train, bus or your own means of transport. To facilitate dive planning and logistics, all activities run Saturday to Saturday.
We rent two houses for the teams, but expect to share bedrooms.
We will have a compressor and other needed facilities available to cater for our own gasses.

Certification requirement: Tech 1 or DPV 1
Event type: Project
Location: Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Contact: Per Normark, per@gue.com
Date: August 31, 2024 to September 11, 2024
Description: Return to the Balkans
Over a few years time now, I have been diving in the Balkans. Together with our local partners, we plan to conduct some cave diving, exploration, mapping, documentation, and serious fun in Bosnia and Herzegovina on August 31 - September 11. We plan to explore some already dived caves and also venture into some new places.
Goals and objectives
The goal is to experience some spectacular diving in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the settings will be as spectacular as the diving itself. In addition to just cave diving, we will do some exploration, mapping, documentation, and have some serious fun in the Balkans. I will offer some suggestions for pre-reading for the trip.
Most caves in the Balkans start deep and continue deeper. This year they will be between 40 and 100 meters deep. Water temperature normally between 8 and 10 degrees.
On the cave side, I have the following in mind, but happy to discuss options and details:
* Last year we visited Buna, but did not get very far. This year I would like to continue exploration beyond what is on the map we saw. This would include a DPV and some significant deco as the depth is about 90 meters.
* Same thing with Bunica. Last year we stopped at 75 meters, but this year I would like to continue beyond that point.
* In Kajtazovina we got to the lake pretty quickly, but no one has been able to tell me what’s beyond the lake. I’d like to continue there.
* We were also told that there are two caves that have not been dived more than at the entrance; Estavella and Studencici. I have asked for more information about them, but I would be surprised if we can get anything without going there ourselves
* I would also like to return to Bastasica.
The ambition for the trip is to have two teams of three divers, to be able to do exploration and documentation in a safe and efficient manner. With six divers, we will need two to three cars. In addition to mine, we can rent cars locally or if someone else is ready to bring a suitable car.
There are two options for this trip;
- You can travel by your own car and bring all your gear and gasses, while accommodation, breakfast, air and nitrox fills, no helium, dive permits and any other local logistical support will be arranged on location.
- You can fly to the Split in Croatia and in addition to the above, the package will include transportation, tanks, DPV and Sofnolime.
Suitable level; C2/CCR2/CCR Cave/DPV Cave or equivalent.
Certification requirement: CCR 2 or Cave 2

We will have a live stream on the 21st hosted by Jarrod Jablonski and Dorota Czerny with special guests. More information to follow soon!
Start planning with your local dive community how you are going to celebrate! Make sure to let us know what you are doing so we can add it to our GUE Community Day events calendar.
Certification requirement: No requirement
Event type: Project
Location: Cala Gonone, Sardinia, Italy
Contact: Dorota Czerny, dorota@gue.com
Event website: Cave Photogrammetry Project - Session 2 - 2024
Date: September 29, 2024 to October 4, 2024
Description: We are continuing the challenge of creating a cave's photogrammetry (see our previous results here: Grotta del Fico Photogrammetry).
We will focus on refining the existing model, adding new passages and extending the main passage's photogrammetry. The goal is to create a comprehensive cave model that can be used by scientists and the general public, to create more awareness of cave research and conservation.
Certification requirement: Cave 1 or Cave 2
Location: Cala Gonone, Sardinia, Italy

Event type: Diving Trip
Location: La Herradura, Spain

Event website: Coral Soul
Date: October 1, 2024 to October 9, 2024
Description: The conservation organization Coral Soul is focusing on habitat restoration in the West Mediterranean sea. Due to regional upwelling conditions, the coral species Dendrophyllia ramea is forming dense gardens in depths that can be reached by technical divers. Usually found in depths greater than 200m off the coast of La Herradura, these beautiful orange corals can be found just below 30m of depth. However, this unique population of corals is threatened by fisheries, debris, and other human impacts.
The project is focusing on clean-up activities of coral habitats, recovering coral colonies, maintaining colonies in nurseries, and finally out-planting the recovered colonies into their natural habitat. This process is followed by extensive survey efforts to follow the fate of the coral colonies, and document the overall improvement of the ecosystem with the return of dense coral gardens.
More information can be found in Quest No. 23. from May 2022
Coral Soul needs motivated and skilled divers to support all aspects of the operations. Nurseries are placed at depths below 36m. Removal and survey activities can be performed as deep as 51m.
Required: Tech 1/CCR1
Useful: GUE Scientific Diver Training
Gases and boat at own expense. Workshops on coral restoration work covered by Coral Soul.
Requirements: Tech 1
Certification requirement: No requirement or Tech 1 or CCR 1

Event website: Marine Genome Project - Session 2024
Date: October 5, 2024 to October 19, 2024
Description: The Marine Genome Project is a groundbreaking scientific initiative, dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of marine organisms through genome sequencing and comprehensive studies. This ambitious endeavor aims to decode the genetic makeup of diverse marine species, solve their unique adaptations, and explore the potential applications of their genetic information.
Researchers in this project employ advanced DNA sequencing technologies to collect samples from marine organisms. Through analysis and interpretation of the genetic data, they strive to discover new species, gain insights into the intricacies of marine ecosystems, and develop accessible tools for effective marine conservation initiatives.
By delving into the depths of marine genomes, this project holds immense potential for expanding our knowledge of the intricacies of marine life. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating adaptations that have evolved over millions of years, and the possibilities for harnessing these genetic resources for various scientific and practical applications.
