BSAC Expeditions Trophy

The Expeditions Trophy is awarded annually and presented to the team with the most significant exploratory diving expedition of the year.

The expedition can be in the UK or overseas and is awarded to an expedition that promotes the true spirit of adventurous diving. The winning team is presented with the Trophy (a barograph) at the BSAC Diving Conference.

Who can apply for the Trophy?

Expedition teams may nominate their expedition for this award. The National Diving Officer and National Diving Committee decide who should receive this award after reviewing the expedition and its report.

Please don’t be modest or shy in submitting your expedition for the trophy. We understand the reward is in the satisfaction of having completed the aims of your expedition safely, successfully and perhaps, more importantly, knowing that the expedition team enjoyed the experience. However, BSAC want exceptional expeditions to be more formally recognised; hence the BSAC Expeditions Trophy.

How to apply for the Expeditions Trophy

For your expedition to be judged for the award, you must let BSAC’s Expeditions Officer know about your expedition by email. This can be in any format you choose, such as a copy of a report/video/magazine article/blog/diary etc.

Participants in expeditions can apply on behalf of their Expedition Leader, but they should seek approval from the Expedition Leader.
