News has broken overnight that Sabine Kerkau is to be inducted in the Women Divers Hall of Fame. It is rare that a non-USA diving female's work is acknowledged by this non-profit organisation.

Sabine Kerkau will be the first German female diver to be inducted in WDHOF, since it was founded almost two decades ago, in 1999.

Kerkau is a diving journalist, more specifically, a technical diving journalist. There are very few of these specialist reporters, and even fewer female techie correspondents. Kerkau is an intelligent author. She keeps the wreck or cave centre stage, and gives it maximum exposure.
