:: NOGI and The Academy of Underwater Arts & Sciences

Every year from 1960 through 2012, the Academy of Underwater Arts and Sciences bestows NOGI awards upon a select cadre of divers and undersea luminaries who rank at the top of their fields in one of four categories:

  • ARTS: Filmmakers, painters, photographers, sculptors and other artists who bring the majesty of the underwater world to people everywhere.

  • SCIENCE: Explorers, inventors, doctors and scientists whose work helps us understand, enjoy and protect our precious underwater realm.

  • SPORTS/EDUCATION: Outstanding athletes and teachers who make diving a safe, enjoyable and accessible activity for all who love the ocean.

  • DISTINGUISHED SERVICE: World-renowned as well as quiet achievers whose contributions keep the wheels of the diving industry and the global diving community turning.

  • ENVIRONMENT: People who, beyond their normal paid job, advocated, studied, lobbied, or otherwise helped far beyond anyone else to protect the oceans and the life within.
