Expedition Diving Resource Centre - Expedition Trophy

The trophy is awarded to an Expedition that promotes the true spirit of adventurous diving and discovery of new and interesting diving locations.

Most Expedition Leaders are quite modest and take their reward from the satisfaction of having completed the aims of their expedition safely, successfully and perhaps more importantly, knowing that those participating in the expedition enjoyed the experience.
However, the BSAC consider that for exceptional Expeditions should be more formally recognized; hence the BSAC Expeditions Trophy.

In order for an expedition to be judged for the award, it must first be brought to the attention of the BSAC Expeditions Officer.

This is done by submitting an Expedition Report together with a completed Expedition Trophy Application Form to the BSAC Expeditions Officer by the 31st October for Expeditions which took place since the start of the Expedition year, the 1st November of the previous year.
Participants in expeditions with particularly modest Expedition Leaders may apply on behalf of their Expedition Leader, but must follow the same submission process and should seek approval from the Expedition Leader.

The winner is presented with the Trophy at the DOC.
Further details are contained in the Application Form.
