Dedicated to preserving the history of Scuba Diving in the Pacific Northwest
Since its beginning in 1950, scuba diving has a history with three generations of underwater enthusiasts. This history is rich with stories from technical advances in equipment and training as well as the pure adventures discovered and pursued by North Pacific scuba divers.
Our mission is to record and preserve the history of the people that contributed to the development of scuba diving in the North Pacific Region. We are working to establish a museum to display vintage diving equipment, photos, magazines, books and artifacts that define our diving history. We also offer educational programs and a traveling museum featuring the history and evolution of diving in our region.
Our diving history is in the hands of those who experienced it as well as those thoughtful divers who preserve it through the Northwest Diving History Association. We invite all diving pioneers to record their unique experiences with us, and ask for new diving generations to support and continue this worthy endeavor.

Bill High publishes new book "Beneath The Sea, Diving and Other Life Adventures"
With a career spanning more than 65 years, Bill is probably the oldest living person that has spent as much time underwater as he has and found many adventures throughout his life both below and above the ocean.
These stories are individually written, so you may enjoy them in any order you wish. You are bound to be amused and enlightened with his story telling of how things were and how some things came to be. Share with Bill as he tells you of his time spent living underwater, his adventures with the sea life he encountered, what it was like to dive in a fish seine with all the fish bustling and jostling about. Learn what it was like to be alone in the Alaska wilderness with nothing much to do but count fish. These are stories of an exciting life well lived. Enjoy the adventure, then go out and find your own!
