[PSUBS-MAILIST] Psubs Conference 2015

[Alec Smyth via Personal_Submersibles]

"Manned power submarine races???" I take it those don't exist yet but the
idea would be to organize such a thing?  I'm not sure any of us would
really take it with any seriousness, such as upping our thrusters and
batteries or installing rocket boosters. However, there's a variant of this
idea.

Perhaps we could contact ISR, the organizers of the human-powered races,
and see if they would like us to co-locate our event with theirs. I'm not
suggesting any actual PSUBS competition, but simply holding the two events
in the same spot at the same time because of the mutual interest to
participants. We could ask for an area to set up in for static display and
maybe to let us do some demo dives in the pool, and in exchange offer their
attendees tours of our boats and admission to presentations. The diving, if
we can even get that bit past the lawyers, would certainly not be scenic
given its in a dark swimming pool. Great for testing PSUB lights. However,
the audience participation I think would be terrific and both groups would
enjoy it equally.

Steve McQueen has been a volunteer at ISR for years. Steve, do you think
such an idea might fly?


Thanks,

Alec
