Scuba Hall of Fame Now Online

Hall of
Fame AwardWe’ve mentioned the Scuba Hall of Fame in the past, but lamented that it was, except for some sparse press releases, a chimera. How does one visit the Hall? Where do we learn who is even in the Hall? Thankfully, Cayman Net News has galloped in on its trusty steed to answer some of our questions.

Evidently, the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame – which has been around since 2000! – launched its official website last weekend. The launch was accompanied by a special awards presentation ceremony for Hall of Famers Hans and Lotte Hass. The site features Hall-of-Famers’ bios, photos and videos from all of the 40 members. There’s also a news section, a history of the organization, and an invitation to the 2007 induction ceremony. The ceremony is scheduled for January 11th. Who wants to go with me?

BTW -- Long term plans for establishing a physical location for the Hall (located on Grand Cayman) were initiated in 2000. However, 2004's Hurricane Ivan delayed the plans. For now, the Hall is only a virtual one.
