Chicago Undersea Explorers Society (CUES) is a group of scuba divers and friends who are excited to cultivate a community of diverse and fiercely curious underwater adventurers. Fundamentally, we strive to bring scuba education to historically excluded and underserved communities. With this mission as our guide, we share our love of scuba diving across Chicagoland one diver at a time.

To build confidence, independence and self-esteem in the lives of children, adults and veterans with disabilities through scuba diving, scuba therapy and related activities.

VISION: To instill the “can do” spirit in participants, inspiring them to take on challenges that they may not have considered before. Using zero gravity and the adventure paradigm, we help participants believe that if they can scuba dive they can do anything.

The world’s most recognized and respected dive safety organization, Divers Alert Network (DAN) has remained committed to the health and well-being of divers for 40 years. The organization’s research, medical services and global-response programs create an extensive network that supports divers with vital services such as injury prevention, safety and educational programs and lifesaving evacuations. Every year, hundreds of thousands of divers around the world look to DAN as their dive safety organization.

We believe that SCUBA diving and underwater recreation should benefit the people, environments and communities where it happens. We believe that promoting diversity and inclusion needs to be made a priority in the dive industry.

The Landlocked Shark Club is a community of ocean enthusiasts and advocates who are committed to equity and inclusion in marine life education and experiences.

Our goal is to ensure that no one is left behind on the shores of opportunity, unlocking a world of marine education that truly belongs to all.

We recognize that marine and ocean life education and experiences often comes at a high cost, making it inaccessible to many individuals, especially those who are landlocked and in marginalized communities. Our organization aims to bridge this gap by working with professionals to provide immersive and educational experiences to local communities. By offering a range of resources, presentations, and virtual reality experiences, we seek to inspire a love for marine biology and maybe even prepare members for potential careers in the field!

MIAZS is a nonprofit organization founded by two women who are professional aquarists and researchers. We aim to promote diversity and inclusion in the aquarium and zoo sciences by countering the financial and social barriers that disproportionately prevent racial and ethnic minorities from entering and flourishing in these fields.

Our monthly meeting/social on Zoom consists of an educational presentation and an exchange of ideas and information. We strongly encourage continuing education, environmental conservation, good sportsmanship, and cooperation with all other users of the marine environment.
