BAUE is a non-profit organization dedicated to the exploration and conservation of our planet's underwater regions. Most of our activities take place in Northern California. To achieve our goals, we apply the philosophy, standards, and procedures of diving originated by George Irvine and Jarrod Jablonski, and taught through Global Underwater Explorers.

For more information, visit about us or ask a question in the BAUE Forums.

Reports are another way we share our diving experiences with the world. We have set up a system that allows members to submit trip reports as well as information on dive sites and dive boats. All of this information is searchable in a number of different ways. Go ahead and give it a try!.

If you would like to discuss any of the trip reports, you can visit the BAUE Trip Reports Forum and post a question or comment.

Here are some of the most recent reports:
4/13/2013 Great Pinnacle by Gary Banta -- Clean, blue water at Great Pinnacle
3/30/2013 Pt Lobos by Jon McNeill -- Saturday fun at Pt Lobos
Nick at Dos Gatos

Projects are a core component of BAUE's mission. BAUE's 2011 Project took place at Whalers Cove within the Point Lobos Marine Reserve, as did our 2010 project. This time we tried to answer the most common question that new divers have when they arrive at Point Lobos. "Where should I Dive?". The project team collected data and navigation points over the two days of diving. Additional photo and video was also captured to visually represent the well known areas that are of interest to the diving community. Results of the project were then compiled to produce a web page for the state park and BAUE. For more information, please visit the Lobos Trail Map Project Page at Trail Map Project
