Engagement and Support: 
 

Large cave diving expeditions like this can really capture the imagination of the public but these expeditions cannot take place without the generous support of sponsors. Our aim is to provide our sponsors with high quality pictures, video footage, quotes and media coverage prior to, during and after the expedition. We want to do this through the use of blogs, social media and the internet as well as articles and presentations when we return.


Expedition members have featured in articles in the national press as well as diving and caving magazines. Articles about us have featured in Dive Magazine, Diver, Speleology, Descent, and the Daily Mail amongst others.  Members have also given presentations at national conferences and events. Including  Hidden Earth, CHECC, Irish Student Caving Forum, Hope for Hopes Night of Adventure and Settle Victoria Hall.

 

Past cave diving expeditions by this team have been generously supported by companies like Bauer Compressors, Petzl, Lyon Equipment and DiveLife.
