Registration for this years Psubs convention is currently open. The convention is August 9-11, 2012, in Muskegon, Michigan, and is being co-hosted by the Great Lakes Naval Memorial and Museum, home of the World War II submarine, USS Silversides. In addition to visiting the museum and speaker
presentations on technical topics, seven personal subs are
currently scheduled to be on display, some of which will also
be diving in Lake Michigan. We also will have the US Coast
Guard Power Squadron, Muskegon Sheriff Office Dive Team, and
West Michigan Underwater Preserve participating.
The registration fee for non-members is $40 and covers the
Meet & Greet on Aug 8 and technical presentations on Fri
Aug 10. Registration for Psubs members is free. The
registration fee is also waived for anyone who brings their
submersible (manned or ROV) for public display. Submersibles
for public display do not have to be operational or complete
and we encourage all subs in any phase of development to join
us.
We will be utilizing the
Holiday Inn at 939 Third Street, Muskegon, MI as our
official hotel and hosting a "Meet and
Greet" at the Third Street Grill located inside the Holiday
Inn from 4:00 - 8:00 on the evening of August 8th (the evening
before the convention) so you can check in, then come down for
appetizers provided by PSUBS, see old friends, and meet some
new ones. You will need to pay for your own beverages.
Technical presentations will be held at the Museum.
Thursday is Dive Day, Friday is Technical Presentations and
"Show & Tell," and Saturday is for tours of the Museum and
USS Silversides. The Museum plans to start the
engines so you can hear them rumble! The Museum will be open
throughout the convention, so Saturday is not your only
opportunity to see the displays.
More details will be provided when we know how many have
registered for the convention, so please register
as soon as possible so that we may provide
headcounts to restaurants and our Museum hosts. Come join us
for a great convention!
