On Friday 4 November Allan set off from Santo for the Cayman Islands for his induction into the International SCUBA Diving Hall of Fame. This event was held on Tuesday 8 November at the Grand Old House in Georgetown, the capital of the Cayman Islands.

The induction was preceeded by the International Film Festival, at which Allan introduced a 20 minute video on the President Coolidge, which was well attended by 200 or so. This event followed the DEMA (dive equipment) show held in Florida the week before.

The actual induction ceremony was a glittering black tie affair, attended by the Premier of Cayman. Allan was humbled and thrilled by the award and warmly thanked all who had made the journey possible as well as the Directors of the ISDHF for their vision in creating such an award.
