Outreach

Some of the organization's notable outreach projects have included:

• GUE and the WKPP provided video captured by documentary filmmaker Marc Singer for Hazlett-Kincaid, Inc.'s interactive, multimedia exhibit Awesome Aquifer Adventure which highlighted various aspects of groundwater for the Reading Public Museum. The sixth month exhibit ended March 24, 2002.
• The Ocean Conservancy beach clean-up at Hutchinson Island located in Martin County, Florida in 2003.
• The "Underwater Exploration and the DIR system" was held in Italy.
• The "GUE Conference 2005" was held in Gainesville, Florida.
• GUE volunteers supported the scanning and archiving of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society journals with the Rubicon Foundation.

• In 2008, GUE was a sponsor for the Divers Alert Network Technical Diving Workshop held Durham, North Carolina.
• In 2011, three members of the GUE and Projecto Espeleológico de Tulum dive team, Alex Alvarez, Franco Attolini, and Alberto Nava, explored a section of cave known as Hoyo Negro for their work with the Quintana Roo Speleological Survey. The divers located the remains of a mastodon as well as a human skull that may be the oldest evidence of early man in the area to date.

GUE instructors regularly host "Introduction to DIR" workshops aimed at promoting the Doing It Right approach to diving.
