Juan Torras
President of HDSES
Welcome!
A small group of veteran divers—some professional divers, others recreational divers—with hundreds or thousands of dives under their belts, united by this love of the sea and adventure, of that unknown something, we discovered the HDS societies, which held exhibitions with very, very old diving equipment. Contacting them, we saw that under the acronym HDS, they had something in common, despite being from many different countries around the world.

Governing bodies
Board of Directors
Currently formed by President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and five members.
General Assembly
It will be convened at least once a year and as necessary. It will be announced by email with sufficient notice, indicating the date, time, and place, along with the Agenda, which may be modified by members up to five days before the meeting.
Council of Honor
Made up of honorary associate members. They may suggest any decision or proposal, but they cannot vote.
Vintage Diving
One of the activities we can do is organize vintage diving days, where we dive with vintage equipment that's been serviced and is in perfect condition. A unique and different experience that takes us back to times when, at least the sea, was infinitely better.
HDSES Talks
The Gospel has a message for everyone, of every age, and in every language. Exposing your child to the Lord's path when they are young gives them guidance, hope and strength that lasts a lifetime. To learn more, be in touch with one of our Pastors.

Honor Diver
"We are waiting for you."
Together we will advance our passion, preventing the past from falling into oblivion and being lost to future generations of divers.
This is a non-profit association supported by contributions from sponsors, regular membership dues, and the sale of books, photos, and other items donated for this purpose by its members or friends.
Through these lines, we'd like to invite you to join us. If you practice or have practiced any type of diving, if you're drawn to the sea, you're welcome.
Within the HDSES, we aim to create different collectors' sections: diving helmets, regulators, books, cameras, waterproof cases, etc. We also want to have the best diving specialists in all its facets with us.
