<div dir="ltr">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.<div>

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. <div>
<br></div><div>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. <div>

<div>Wanted to give everyone a update on the next psubs convention. At this years conference in Vancouver / Washington we had a discussion of where everyone wanted to go. The following is in order what we came up with</div>
<div> </div>
<div>First choice) Woods Hole, Massachusetts (See Alvin and Deep sea challenger)</div>
<div>Scond choice) Manned power submarine races (Our biggest potential for new members)</div>
<div>Third choice) Florida Keys (Dive on the USS Vandenburg)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dan Lance and Steve McQueen are helping to figure out if the first two choices would work. More info about next years conference will come out soon.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
