History of the WKPP

[txdiver]

If I wanted to research the history of the WKPP, its founding members, past directors and all there is to know about the organization, where would I start looking? They used to have their own website but now they are absorbed into the GUE site.

Thanks

Here's the internet archive link for the last wkpp.org site I could find before it became more GUE oriented.

The latest dvd "Push for the connection" is excellent and contains some history.

The WKPP before 1995 and the WKPP after 1995 were as different as night and day. Everyone I knew had a positive opinion of the pre-1995 organization...

You may find Dawn's AAUS article a good starting point:

Kernagis DN, McKinlay C, Kincaid TR. Dive Logistics of the Turner to Wakulla Cave Traverse. In: Brueggeman P, Pollock NW, eds. Diving for Science 2008. Proceedings of the American Academy of Underwater Sciences 27th Symposium. Dauphin Island, AL: AAUS; 2008. RRR ID: 8011

The most comprehensive I've seen published was a multi-part series of articles published 2-3yrs ago, working its way chronologically through the history of the WKPP... Mike Wisenbaker wrote the first 2-3 installments and Casey McKinlay wrote the last. I'm pretty sure it was published in the NSS News, but don't have it in front of me so my memory might be a little rusty.
