  The Conrad Limbaugh Award is the Department of Parks and Recreation's highest award in the Underwater Field.  This award is presented to a person in the field as merit indicates, but may be awarded no more than once each year.

Conrad Limbaugh was a true pioneer in diving education.  As early as 1951 he began to develop the basic guidelines for training research divers in Scuba Diving at Scripps Institute of Oceanography, later being appointed as their Diving Training Officer.

This award in the name of Conrad Limbaugh, who instructed the two divers who pioneered the County program, is awarded for contribution and dedication to the promotion and development of standards of excellence in the field of underwater instruction and safety.  It was originally presented under the auspices of the Recreation Superintendent, the Sports Director and the Senior Aquatics Specialist.

Currently this award is presented by the Underwater Unit and this award is independent of UIA Board Action.  The following section lists all past recipients of the Conrad Limbaugh Award.
