Aquatic Voyagers Scuba Club
A Proud NABS Chapter Club · Est. 1991
Mission
To create a network of people and resources that provide educational experiences which enhance and promote an appreciation of diving and an awareness of the aquatic environment. This network will build unity and camaraderie to transfer the legacy to future generations.
THE ORGANIZATION
Who We Are
A national organization made up of individual members and affiliated clubs was needed to address the interests and concerns of black scuba divers.
The National Association of Black Scuba Divers (NABS) began in January of 1991. It has been a catalyst for promoting awareness of scuba diving in the African American community.
NABS members, charter clubs, and affiliate clubs are comprised of people with similar interests joining together to network and share common experiences. Members of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers (NABS) stand to benefit from the many services the organization provides, including the following:
