Please join us for the 3rd presentation of our 2007 Sea Secrets Lecture Series:
Exploring the Underwater Caves of the Bahamas
Mr. Brian Kakuk
Cave Diving Expert
Over the past 18 years, Mr. Brian Kakuk has explored and documented hundreds of blue holes and underwater cave systems in the Bahamas. He and a team of expert divers use some of the most advanced technology available to explore the depths up to 500 feet and through passages more than a mile long. Within the underwater caves of the Bahamas, they have discovered new species specially adapted to life in the dark, including blind crustaceans, and fossils indicative of early life in the region. As a Navy diver turned safety officer, explorer and even underwater stuntman, Mr. Kakuk's presentation will be one of thrilling adventure and take us into the little known world of underwater caves, where few are able to venture.
