[PSUBS-MAILIST] Tahoe video

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi all,

The video from the Tahoe trip with Gamma and R300 is finally out. There
wasn't enough material for a proper documentary, and arguably there isn't
even a plot. But the goal of this short piece is to demonstrate how
enthusiastic scientists get when offered an opportunity to dive in subs,
and that we can offer such opportunities safely and professionally. For
those of us lucky enough to have a sub, it's a lot more rewarding to use it
for real purpose. For the scientists, it's an opportunity to finally see
the subjects of their study face to face, and to go deeper than on SCUBA.

I will be sending out a FB update too, so if you are on that I'd really
appreciate sharing. If you are on any other sort of social network, I'd
really appreciate sharing links to the website and/or video. The idea is to
get the word out to the educational and research communities, as surely
there are neat ideas for future expeditions within those groups. The video
is accessible from either the Expeditions or Videos tab:

Many thanks to everyone who pitched in on this initial expedition.
Particularly to Cliff and Hank, who towed their boats half way across a
continent. To Jon and Dan, who coordinated surface operations. To Ian,
Brian, and David who were support divers. And to Shanee, who not only
contributed an inflatable but jumped into the freezing water without a
wetsuit to retrieve the glasses I so cleverly dropped off the dock.

Best,
Alec
