International Scuba Day

International Scuba Day had its inaugural celebration in 2023 when a group of passionate divers worked together to promote and celebrate the important experience that comes from diving.
In addition, the day is meant to unite divers from all over the world and promote the community of ocean lovers.
The date of this event was chosen as a nod to July 6, 1926, which was the date that the Fernez-Le Prieur diving apparatus was unveiled.
This equipment was made in cooperation between a French Naval Officer, Yves Paul Gaston Prieur along with an inventor, Maurice Fernez, and the work between the two made it possible for humans to dive to previously unreached depths.
The ability to dive grew in popularity and by 1952, the term “scuba” or SCUBA, was coined as an acronym that means Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
