Diving New Zealand grants honorary life membership of DNZ, honours and service awards to any person who has rendered exceptional service to the sport of diving and/or whose standing within and service to the diving community shall entitle that person to such distinction. Nominations are considered by the Awards Committee which, in turn, makes recommendations to the DNZ Board. Further details and nomination forms can be found here.
