Email received yesterday from the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism:
SCUBA HALL OF FAME We are very excited to recognize your Father, Bert Kilbride (posthumously) as an Inductee into the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame (ISDHF)this year! Congratulations on behalf of the Cayman Islands Ministry of Tourism and the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame Board of Directors,
The ISDHF was established by the Cayman Islands Ministry of Tourism in October 2000 to recognize those people who have made a significant contribution to the development and enjoyment of the sport of scuba diving. Recipients include (but are not limited to) pioneers who have been influential in scuba education, scuba equipment development and manufacture, dive travel and dive destination development, arts and entertainment, dive medicine and safety.
The date for the Induction ceremony will be held on Tuesday November 12, 2013 in the Cayman Islands. We notified Gayla Kilbride via email about your Father’s induction and will send her a formal invitation. She has provided a photo and a short bio of your Father for a poster announcing the 2013 Inductees at Beneath the Seas.
