No reason we can't have a west coast session like we did this year
and schedule it in somehow. Do some research into an event site,
hotels, dive site, anticipated temps, anticipated costs, and
potential dates.<br>

<div>Scott, You forgot choice number four, the west coast !
I can see if I'm going to get you guys out to my neck of the
woods it will have to be very enticing ! I don't think you
guys realize how good it can be out here. Granted you
usually have to be out at the islands to get the killer
clear water but not always. Santa Barbara can be very good
as far a visibility in the fall. I would like to try and do
something, maybe by 2016 or 17. I was thinking of a
Submarine Rodeo. This would be an event that would
challenge everyone's sub to complete various tasks, like
picking up certain objects, maybe rescuing another sub,
negotiating an obstacle course and so forth. I can
see I'll have to have some type of platform or barge to pick
up subs out of the water, since most psubs have very little
freeboard and there is the danger of swamping. It would be
nice if the event could generate money, some of the money
could go to a scholarship to the Santa Barbara Marine Tech
dept. possibly, but if there was some extra money generated
maybe that could differ some of the travel costs to get the
subs out here ( I know , I'm dreaming !) But maybe with
some sponsors who knows ? The kelp forests out at Catalina
and the other Channel Island are just amazing ! </div>
