Hi,
Here are the 2005 PSUBS Award winners.
You may note that this year I chose some double
winners. Pierre deserves recognition for making a
successful submersible with some unique design features on a limited budget. I
feel that is just as important as the awesome
Kraka.
Ray and Jon are inseparable. Like twins? Without either
of them there wouldn't be a PSUBS.
