ABOUT THE AWARD
The Reaching Out Award was first presented in 1989. Since inception the intent of the Award has been to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the sport of diving by “reaching out” in some special way to improve the sport
for everyone.
There are many ways to reach out and do something extraordinary for the sport. Many who have been recognized were pioneers who helped develop techniques related to their special areas of expertise. Their contributions have been made in such
areas as photography, training, equipment design, publishing, travel, retailing, water safety, exploration and science.
The Reaching Out Award has become more than recognition of individual achievements; it has become the industry’s HALL OF FAME. Those so recognized are the leaders and heroes of our sport, making diving what it is today. Some may have greater
name recognition than others, but each, in their own way, is as important to the development of diving as any other.
To become a member of the DEMA Hall Of Fame is an extraordinary achievement and is available only to those who truly deserve to be recognized for their outstanding efforts and contribution to the sport. There are many individuals whose work goes
unnoticed and unheralded. See a list of past recipients here:
