Global Underwater Explorers (GUE) is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the exploration and conservation of the underwater world. Over nearly 20 years, GUE has been a leader in the education and training of technical divers, having trained more than 20,000 divers around the world. The organization leverages those divers to conduct exploration and conservation projects across the globe. In 2009, GUE began a global conservation effort called Project Baseline inviting divers and water lovers alike to document freshwater and marine environments while supporting work with other scientific and conservation organizations. Project Baseline is growing steadily with over 70 projects in 27 countries. Global Sub Dive (GSD) is a US company started in 2013 with a primary mission of supporting and promoting GUE and its Project Baseline initiative. GSD compiles funding from numerous private sources to establish and maintain a state-of-the art underwater exploration and research platform (r/v Baseline Explorer) including a ship, two 2-person 1000-ft (100-m) observation submersibles, and a technical diving support system.
