Held annually in Bowling Green, Ohio, United States, since 2006, the International Legends of Diving has attracted notable diving legends such as Nick Icorn, Alec Peirce, Zale Parry, Dr. Sam Miller, Dr. A. Jose Jones, Dave Woodward, Robert Croft, Dottie Frazier, Dr. John Clement, Ollie Ferguson, Ben Rose, Neal Watson, John Englander, Nick Rolle, and Dan Orr.

These legends of diving have shaped the history of diving and helped inspire others to ensure its future. The first offshore event was held in the Caribbean on Grand Bahama Island in 2009. Since then the event has been held two times annually in Bowling Green, OH the first weekend in August and offshore in April. Jeff Rice, principal of both Portage Quarry and the ILD, is helping to capture the history of diving and present these legends to the world.
