Company description We are a group in the US Gulf Coast region (TX-LA-OK) devoted to preservation of our diving history through restoration and use of original diving gear (including deep sea [aka hardhat] helmets and early SCUBA gear) in the public arena.
We are also a non-profit 501-C organization. Membership is open to all - including nondivers (scuba-training req`d for actual diving). Check this site for messages promoting our group and its events, discussing gear and equipment issues, and posting pix from our dive events.
INTERESTED IN HELPING OUT?
We are a volunteer organization. If you are interested in what we do and would like to help out during shows or dive events, let us know who you are. You don`t need to be a diver to help out. If you are a diver, let us know your diving experience and training, and if you are new to surface-supplied gear, we can put you on a short training schedule that will get you in the water. Y`all come on down!

Location description: The goal of UHEXSO`s diving rules, policies and procedures is to ensure diver, surface crew and spectator safety at all times during UHEXSO diving events. However, no standard will ever exist which can substitute for common sense, sound judgment and a continuing concern and vigilance for maximum safety. At UHEXSO, safety is everyone`s business.
Diving is a potentially hazardous practice that, if practiced incorrectly or with incomplete or insufficient training, planning or knowledge can expose a person to considerable risk, injury or death.
