[PSUBS-MAILIST] Psubs Conference 2015

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

When I made the ISR video, I think we discussed the possibility of bringing
Snoopy along and doing some demo dives in the pool. Can't recall exactly
with whom, but there was interest. Lets see! At any rate I'd have a really
short trip, I'm only about twenty minutes from the facility.

Best,

Alec
