I think any of us who have spent time with him would say the same thing. I had hoped to travel to BC within the next year and get him to let me pay for dinner for a change.<br></span></div>

<div dir="ltr">For those whom haven't heard, Phil Nuytten passed away May 13 at 81 years old. I have not seen any information regarding arrangements.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">Phil was a contributor and supporter of PSUBS who shared his knowledge freely. In 2009 he was a gracious host for our PSUBS convention and let us dive in his Deep Worker submarines, gave us a tour of his shop where he was working on his latest projects as well as his historical collection of submarines. He treated us very well.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> </div>
<div dir="ltr">It has always been my opinion that Phil Nuytten almost single-handedly legitimized PSUBS. In the early days, PSUBS garnered some considerable criticism from an untrusting industry who classified us a "weekend warriors" that were going to kill ourselves and in the process saddle the commercial industry with restrictive regulations. Phil was one of the exceptions that embraced our organization and became part of it. When that happened the rest of the industry took note and started looking at us differently, with respect. We will miss him.</div>
