Funded in 2005 by Artur Lagoá, while Coordinator of The Aquatic Sciences Dep./AEICBAS.

The must of NAUUP is the fact that our basic formation comes from Aquatic Sciences, plus, diving.

This is the fundamental difference from most centers, clubs, etc.

With growing activities, Luis Magina joined the NAUUP coordination one year after it´s creation.

A. Lagoá, CMAS old school, while L. Magina started with PADI.

Different starting grounds, but complementary for NAUUP itself.

In 2006, Tech diving became part of our know-how basis and so both are now TDI certified.
