Diver Awards

Every December since 1985 the club members have selected a “Diver of the Year” to honor.  This is the person who did the most for the club during the past year.  The honoree receives a plaque depicting our infamous “NASA Nerd”.  The award is presented at the annual Texas Gulf Coast Council (TGCC) banquet.
