Wandering the DEMA show's aisles, I stumbled upon an un-manned table with brochures scattered loosely atop it. Wondering who would leave their table unattended, I approached cautiously and grabbed a flyer. Was this a trick? Was Alan Funt behind me? Nope. It turns out that the flyer was for the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame Awards Night, to be held January 25th, 2007. Why wasn't anybody at the table? Dunno...bathroom break?
In any event, upon returning home, I decided to learn a bit more about the Awards. It turns out that there's a whole she-bang planned, from a week-long dive extravaganza (January 22-28) with the induction ceremony scheduled for the evening of the 25th. Don't ask me why the Scuba Hall of Fame has inductees for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and then completely skips 2006. I don't know if nobody qualified last year, or if something weird was going on, but in any event, the Hall of Fame plans to induct 5 famous divers in January of '07, including:
Wish you could attend the gathering in the Caymans? Guess what? You're invited! Simply choose your accomodation and book your flight. You even get to enjoy some diving with one of the inductees!
