Edd is a technical cave diver known for his numerous rescues of lost or trapped divers in the underwater caves of Florida, particularly in Vortex Springs and Blue Springs Recreational Park.
His diving career started back in 1995 in the Pacific Northwest, which sparked a passion for the world beneath the water’s surface. Over the years which followed, he pursued his education in diving. While on vacation in Florida in 1996 to wreck dive the Spiegel Grove, which had been blown out, he found a new love for cave diving doing a cavern dive at Ginnie Springs. He was rebreather certified in 1997, full cave certified in 1998 and over the years, has become one of cave diving’s most known instructor trainers working for several training agencies.
In 1999, Edd was asked to join the International Underwater Cave Rescue and Recovery (IUCRR) as one of the founding members. He did his first body recovery in 1999 at Ginnie Springs in High Springs, FL. A few years later in 2003, he founded Cave Adventurers.
Edd is now the Safety Director for the NSS-CDS and was awarded the Life Saving Award in 2013. Last year at the 2019 NSS-CDS International Conference, Edd received the Lifetime Achievement Award. Additionally, the NSS-CDS named an award after him, the “Edd Sorenson Life Saving Award” which this year was awarded to Rick Stanton from the UK for his part in last year’s Thai Cave Rescue.
