SDFSA Lifetime Membership Awards Event

The SDFSA Life Membership honour was proposed and approved at a Special General Meeting of the Federation in October 2020 as a way to recognise and celebrate the significant contribution that an individual has made to the Federation and to the sport of diving in South Australia. This recognition is long overdue to those who have so generously volunteered their time to make South Australia one of the best places in the world for diving.

When is the Awards Event?

The awards are made every year or so, with either a special dinner or in conjunction with another major event on the South Australian diving calendar.
