[PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Intervention Convension

[Jon Wallace]

I think others will agree, the majority of attendees are there for ROV 
related sessions.  I have only ever attended the manned vehicle sessions 
and never experienced an issue of not having a seat.  The convention 
center and session rooms are not small...we're not talking PSUBS size 
event here.  The technical session rooms have seats for...I'm 
guessing...200 people?  And there is plenty of "standing room" if all 
the seats were taken.

ABS reps usually attend because they have discussions about proposed 
rule changes...can't recall the gentleman's name at the moment.  I don't 
think I've seen a sub manufacturer other than Will Kohnen (seamagine) 
whom is the coordinator of the manned vehicle sessions at the convention.

You'll have a good time there.  It's worth the trip and no doubt there 
should be some psubbers in attendance as well.
