Welcome to the Northwest Diving History Association
Preserving a Living Legacy Beneath the Surface
Since its beginning around 1950, scuba diving has grown through three distinct generations of underwater enthusiasts—each shaped by the tools, challenges, and spirit of their time. What began as a bold and often experimental pursuit has evolved into a refined and widely accessible activity, but the heart of diving has never changed: curiosity, exploration, and a willingness to venture into the unknown.
