Awards History
Awards have been presented prior to 1998 but were intermittent and not clearly recorded. This was changed under the the leadership of the 1999 Diving Officer Neil Clement, who introduced other awards at later dates. The awards were originally presented at the AGM then later, an evening was set aside to include food, fun and fundraising.
