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