[PSUBS-MAILIST] PEX2022

Tue Oct 19 14:45:50 EDT 2021

That is fantastic! I would certainly make my best effort to attend, with
sub and inflatable. Schedule-wise, my chances of avoiding conflict are much
better if it's in June, and specifically after the 5th of June. The fact
the wreck is in such shallow water makes it very appropriate for taking
people on dives. But I'm also interested in suggestions for deeper ones
that could be worked into the same trip, perhaps right after the big group
event.

Thanks,
Alec
