Bay Area Divers History
|
In 1974, a few members of
the NASA Recreational Organization, Frank Resch, Cliff Holloway, Hal
Devaney and Tom Rumney, decided to start a dive club for the public
and non-NASA personnel. The as yet unnamed club was conceived.
Word spread throughout Clear Lake City that
a meeting of the new dive club would be held on the first Wednesday
of the month. The turnout was tremendous and over the next few
months, the first slate of officers were elected and the first
constitution and by-laws hammered out. Bay Area Divers was now a
viable organization.
Since that time, Bay Area Divers has grown
tremendously and yet still maintains the closeness of the original
group. It is an active group of fun-loving divers who are out to
have a good and safe time diving. Bay Area Divers has made a
favorable mark on the Houston/Galveston area diving community with
it's past SCUBA divers market, frequent dive trips and
community programs.
Please feel free to join us at our monthly
meetings and have a good 'BAD' time! (please see the
calendar )
Note: We
are now a 501c4 'Not for Profit' organization. Click
