[PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Intervention 2014

[Jon Wallace]

I highly recommend attendance at least once because I've always found it 
very interesting.  However it is rather expensive with I think a $500 
entry fee, and it is geared toward the deep pockets of the oil and gas 
industry.  The floor displays are extremely interesting but you will 
find little, if anything, applicable to the home-built budget.  I'll 
never forget the first time I attended wearing my 
PSUBS-Rose-Colored-Glasses and stopped at DeepSea Power and Light to 
look at a small LED flashlight that was on "sale" that day only for a 
miniscule $6000 (warrantied to 20,000 feet of course).  On the other 
hand, there are bunches of interesting professionals in attendance and 
your chances of bumping into someone of the caliber of Phil Nuytten (who 
usually attends) is pretty good.  Vance, Dan Lance, Pete Hoffman, and 
Mike Caudle are usually regular attendees.
