G.L.U.E. has a special interest in wrecks that have not been previously explored, surveyed or documented.

2. To improve access to a greater variety of shore and boat dive sites, in order to take full advantage of Ontario's submerged cultural resources.

3. To encourage the preservation of Ontario's submerged cultural resources by assisting museums and public archives in acquiring information pertaining to Ontario's marine history.

4. To document Ontario's submerged cultural resources using high quality video and photo images.

5. To encourage recreational and technical diving practices that have a low impact on submerged cultural resources and the environment.
