History
In the early 1970’s SCUBA instructors Lon Von Lintel, Lee Wood, H.C. Allen, and Randy De Bord began organizing dive trips for their graduating students. Word of these trips soon spread and other certified divers joined in the fun. This nucleus later adopted the name "The Active Divers Association" and formalized their organizational structure. ADA has since become one of the largest, safest and best established dive clubs in the United States.

Objectives
ADA is a non-profit dive club open to all certified divers. Our objectives are to: provide economical diving activities, encourage diving safety, promote marine conservation, sponsor social activities and to promote sport diving to the public

Diving activities
ADA offers its members a variety of diving opportunities designed to please the most discriminating diver from the novice to the experienced. Dives include local trips to the Keys and the Key Biscayne wrecks, international trips to the Bahamas, Cozumel, the Caymans, and other Caribbean islands as well as more exotic locales worldwide. Each is priced to give our members the greatest possible value.

Social activities
Throughout the year ADA sponsors social events for the members, their family and friends. Included are beach parties, canoe trips, bike rides, pool parties, and our annual Awards Banquet. Some are free of charge, others require a small fee. All are a great way to meet other members and make new friends.

Newsletter
Members are informed about all activities through "The Mouthpiece", ADA’s newsletter, which is published on a regular basis throughout the year. It contains diving schedules, a calendar of events, reports on past events, informative articles, diving news and announcements. Members also receive a membership directory of names, addresses, and phone numbers. Please note: ADA will not release this directory to non-members.
