[Member-Forum] Psubs Conference 2015

[Jon Wallace via Member-Forum]

Moving this topic to the members-only mailing list until a location and 
other details are decided upon.

Note that for 2014 Alvin is scheduled to be at-sea 304 days. Assuming a 
similar schedule for 2015 (not published yet) there's a very small 
window of opportunity to visit the sub *if* we can get permission to 
even do so.  So the convention schedule will be driven by Alvin's 
availability.  We will need some good contact info...Phil Nuytten, do 
you know anyone at Wood's Hole we can reach out to that would have the 
authority to schedule such a tour?

A New England convention would need to be somewhere between 
May-September if diving is on the agenda.  The rest of the year will be 
both too cold and water too rough.

The Florida peninsula or Keys are the place to be for ocean diving.  
Ocean side was considerably better than Bay side in October last year.  
There is plenty of support and resources, plus numerous activities if 
you bring the family.  I realize it's a haul for many (including myself) 
but of all the places we've ever been, and we've been around the country 
a bit, it can't be beat in my opinion.  Weather, water, and resources 
add up to a winner of a location.
