National Association Of Black Scuba Divers

NABS provided educational experiences in diving and marine science for minority youth throughout the year.

Aqua Corps Safety: We strive to be the "2nd buddy" to our NABS members, to lend assistance in order to ensure the safe diving of the group and individuals. In order to prevent possible incidents, we will be proactive in offering advice and we will speak on the side of caution if we witness a situation that may not be the best diving practice. Training: the NABS Aqua Corps has always offered training for any NABS member that has a desire to increase their knowledge and/or skill levels in the sport of scuba diving. We have Aqua Corps members involved in just about every diving specialty. The wealth of knowledge and depth of experience that exists within the Aqua Corps is a testament to our dedication and professionalism. Education: "A good diver is always learning". We are certified dive professionals and are here to assist NABS members in achieving their educational goals. Promoting continuing education is an objective of the Aqua Corps, it benefits the NABS organization by making us better divers. This objective is pursued not only at the annual summits but also throughout the year. Members of the Aqua Corps are located all around the country and should be contacted if they can be of assistance to you and your club in reaching educational goals. Professionalism: As the diving professionals of the organization, the bar is set high, and the NABS membership expects and receives the best that our talent has to offer. We work hard to remain current with trends in the dive industry and in diver education. Without this type of dedication, we would not be able to effectively fill the leadership roles in the organization.

Science and Education This committee recruits talent to serve as knowledge leaders, they actively engage in educational and scientific projects; and they initiate and lead collaborative ventures within and outside of NABS.
