EuroTek Presenter
Jarrod Jablonski
Jarrod Jablonski is widely regarded as one of the world’s
most capable and talented exploration divers at the cutting
edge of extreme exploration. Better known, perhaps, in his role
as Training Director for the WKPP Woodville Karst Plain Project,
(an on-going exploration of the limestone cave systems that
lie beneath the water-table in South Florida), Jarrod has also
served as the Training Director for the National Association
of Cave Diving; He has been a Board |
|
| member for both the NACD and NSS-CDS; and sits on the Training
Committee for the National Speleological Society cave diving
section. Jarrod is a graduate of the University of Florida with
degrees in English and Geology; the President and C.E.O. of
dive equipment companies, Halcyon Manufacturing and Extreme
Exposure; and the President and founder of, Global Underwater
Explorers (GUE), a non-profit research, exploration and education
organisation whose technical diver training programmes - from
entry level through to advanced exploration - are setting new
standards of proficiency. |
| As Project Leader and Dive Leader for numerous domestic and
international research assignments, (with several thousand dives
focusing on long range, deep exploration activities) he has
performed many hundreds of extreme exposures utilising mixed
gases, stage decompression, rebreathers, and underwater propulsion
vehicles, and holds the dual records for the world’s longest
and deepest cave diving penetrations, a staggering underwater
distance of 18,000 feet at a depth of 300 feet, established
in 1998 together with, WKPP project director, George Irvine. |
