Events
From (relatively) local meetups to international trips to virtual events, MWUE has an active schedule of dive-related events year round.
Projects
With a dedicated cadre of highly trained and skilled divers, MWUE is able to engage in self determined citizen science projects, such as our Project Baseline SLAM, or partner with other organizations who can benefit from our particular skillset.
Education
MWUE is instructor instructor and dive shop agnostic, as such, we welcome any and all GUE instructors to come to the Midwest to teach classes by providing support such as our groundbreaking Visiting Instructor Program.
“One thing that makes GUE special is the ability to connect with people from all over the world… had a great time with fellow GUE diver… visiting us from Germany this evening.
MWUE adopted the motto ‘Connect Locally, Dive Globally’ because we love being a part of this global community.”
— John K, Board Secretary
