Exploration and Survey

The purpose of the Exploration and Survey Committee is to promote and support exploration and documentation of underwater caves and to improve the quality and quantity of underwater cave maps available to cave divers. In pursuit of these goals, the NACD provides funding for exploration and survey projects by NACD members both internationally and throughout the United States. Survey workshops are hosted periodically where members can learn basic techniques for surveying, processing data and drawing cave maps.

The NACD works with the Florida Geological Survey to house its collection of maps and data on underwater caves so that the information is available to the scientific community. In addition, the NACD offers underwater cave maps for purchase on their website and the proceeds help the organization to provide additional services to its membership.
