The Bert and Ann Shearer Scholarship

Bert and Ann Shearer are the parents of our dear pirate Ed Shearer (pictured here with wench Gayle).

Bert and Ann created a foundation that, on their passing, would continue their loving spirit of giving. This scholarship is specifically for our past recipients who are also U.S. veterans.

Suzy Fago Memorial Scholarship 


Suzy’s desire through the Suzy Fago Memorial Scholarship is to support more women divers. Either a deserving current female Dive Pirate recipient or to assist a past female recipient certified by DPF with support to go on another dive trip.

One of our greatest joys is to see our recipients continue to enjoy diving, and through these scholarships these generous people are making this a reality for some of our crew. Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, it is truly a gift beyond measure.
