Lecture - Underwater Cave and Spring Exploration
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: North Port Community United Chur ch of Christ located at 3450 Biscayne Blvd., North Port
Description: Notable local cave diver and explorer extraordinaire
Curt Bowen, publisher of Advance Diver magazine, will be the speaker at the April 9 meeting of the WMS/LSSAS. Curt has explored thousands of springs, sinkholes and caves in the last 25 years in North, Central and South America with his team of courageous explorers, and has video- and photo-documented his finds and experiences in an underwater world seldom seen by the general public or open-water divers. The astonishing discoveries have captured the attention of many television networks, including National Geographic, The Discovery Channel, and Animal Planet. It is a highly technical and potentially dangerous field that few attempt to enter, and those who do, do so with considerable risk. Being thousands of feet in a cave with only one way out and a limited supply of air is what they do, in the name of exploration and science. In 1996, Curt was the Team Coordinator and Cartographer for the Warm Mineral Springs Survey Project. Taking more than two years to complete, they methodically mapped the depths of Warm Mineral Springs, including the geothermal cave at 220 feet below the surface.
