We are thrilled to announce that Brian Kakuk, Founder/Director of the Bahamas Caves Research Foundation and co-owner/operator of Bahamas Underground Technical Diving Facility, will be speaking at the upcoming NACD seminar.

Brian is a former U.S. Navy Diver with 30 years of professional diving experience. His work has taken him beneath nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, to jumping from helicopters into 10 foot seas, to record penetrations of underwater cave systems around the world. His research diving work as Diving Consultant for the National Museum of the Bahamas and various governmental and scientific institutions has revealed new species of cave adapted marine life and new species of extinct terrestrial animal fossils that are now repainting the picture of the Bahamas past environment. His expertise in diving safety has been used widely in the feature film industry as a Diving Safety Officer and underwater stuntman. With more than 3000 exploration cave dives, Brian is considered one of the leading authorities on the underwater/underground environments of the Bahamas and is a veteran of multiple high profile underwater cave expeditions in the Bahamas, Mexico, Belize, and the U.S.

Join us on October 12 in Gainesville for Brian's presentation. Remember too that Brian will be joined by Eric Hutcheson, Kristi Bernot, and Doug Ebersole.

Safe diving,

Sandy Robinson
