Our story...
The GSNDAMBAA SCUBA Diving Club was born one dark, slightly inebriated February evening in 1990 as the Greater Seattle Night Diving and MicroBrewery Appreciation Association. As one of the world’s most difficult to pronounce acronyms -- GSNDAMBAA -- our name kinda sounds like a sneeze. Originally created to keep newly-certified divers from getting too dry behind the ears, GSNDAMBAA has evolved into a good excuse to have a great time. Diving is still the primary activity practiced by club members, but we indulge in many other diverse (divers?) activities. Non-diving friends and family members are always welcome at our informal meetings: we’re not dive snobs.
We are also not diving idiots. Despite the possible connotations of our name, GSNDAMBAA members are committed to safe diving practices. We are vocal supporters of safe and sane diving. We have fun and act a little silly, but diving safety is never compromised.
GSNDAMBAA also supports local efforts to protect and enhance Puget Sound. We are supporters of Washington SCUBA Alliance (WSA) and participate in many of their programs.
