International Legends of Diving
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.
Our Mission
It is our mission to preserve
the history of diving and present these legends to the diving community in the hope that their passion and dedication will inspire the next generation of legends.
