mission
@2010 Lambda Divers is a non-profit Washington DC based diving club that promotes recreational scuba diving in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and transsexual (GLBTT) community.
Lambda Divers Mission
The main mission of Lambda Divers is to provide a fun and inexpensive diving venue for GLBTT divers. With the power to arrange group travel with no intermediaries, Lambda Divers provides its members with not only a GLBTT family environment, but also the best dive pricing available. Organizing two to three dive trips a year from a "cheap and easy" long weekend to live-aboards, Lambda Divers brings you the best in GLBTT diving. Since its inception, Lambda Divers has been to such locations as: Cozumel * The Bahamas * Bonaire * Belize * Florida Keys * Dominica * Papua, New Guinea * Turks & Caicos * Saba * Kona
Diving with Us
Participation on the trips ranges from a few to thirty divers. All trips are organized by club members who receive a modest stipend for their work. The bulk of the rebates and commissions are shared among the participants and the club treasury. No diver goes on a Lambda Divers trip for free. In this way, Lambda Divers offers you rock bottom pricing on great trips with your friends and GLBT family.
Become Certified
Most members are certified divers with certification levels ranging from basic to instructor. As well, Lambda Divers can help arrange introduction to scuba events and scuba classes for uncertified divers who are curious about the sport or who are ready to “take the plunge.”
Lambda Divers and the Community
Lambda Divers has shown a tremendous presence at Diving
for Life, the International Gay and Lesbian Scuba Jamboree. Proceeds from this annual event go to gay and lesbian charities. As a result of its participation, to date, Lambda Divers has donated over $120,000 to DC and Baltimore charities, including Food & Friends, Lesbian Services at Whitman-Walker, The Mautner Project, and Maryland Community Kitchen.
