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.
