About
The Ministry of Tourism in the Cayman Islands paved the way for the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame to be established in 2000. Our founders are leaders in diving from both the Cayman Islands and the United States. Ever since our inaugural class of 17, we have brought our newest members out for a stay on our islands and a ceremony in their honour. The ISDHF partners with the Historical Diving Society. These members maintain the high standards of our organization and oversee our annual ceremonies. They are internationally recognised for their contributions above and below the surface.
Steve Broadbelt
Steve has served to promote the dive industry with contributions made through multi years on the CITA Watersports Sector, CITA Board and as CITA President. He is the founder of the concept of the Dive 365 program, instrumental in many years promoting Grand Cayman diving through the Social media with both Private and Public Sectors. He is a valued advisor to DOT and Cayman Islands Ministry of Tourism. He is also a major contributor to the development and promotion of diving on the East End of Grand Cayman.
Anthony Scott
Anthony Scott grew up in Cayman Brac next to the water and has always loved all types of water sports – swimming, free diving, (no mask), belly board surfing and of course fishing. In 1964 at the age of 17, he finished school and worked for a few months in Little Cayman at Southern Cross Club taking care of and repairing fishing reels, spear guns and taking guests on snorkeling trips. After this he went to work at Buccaneers Inn in Cayman Brac, also operating snorkeling trips for the guests.
Suzy Soto
Alongside her previous husband, Eric Bergstrom, Suzy Soto founded the Tortuga Club, which opened in 1963 in East End. Affectionately coined her “dream resort,” Suzy also oversaw the hostelry’s front-of-house functions and did the hiring. Today, East End is integral to the eastern districts, growing faster than anywhere else.
Suzy has been in business and is often referred to as one of Cayman’s original “women in business” – for over 50 years and displays no suggestion of slowing down. Additionally, she is an author who published her first narrative – a biography of Bob Soto (whom she later married). Suzy also published a cookbook in 1995.
Ronnie W. Anglin
Mr. Ronnie Anglin was born at the George Town Hospital on 29 August 1959 and grew up in West Bay, going to Teacher Redley’s school and then the West Bay Primary school before moving on to the George Town High School. He completed the Hotel Management certification at ICCI in 1986.
KENT DALMAIN ELDEMIRE
A founding member and past President of the Cayman Islands National Watersports Association, Kent has contributed to the watersports industry in the Cayman Islands for over 30 years.
