[PSUBS-MAILIST] PEX2022

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

If my work commitments allow me to take the time, I would attend this. No sub, but I'd be happy to provide surface coordination and dive rescue support. Too early to commit though I'm afraid.

Hotels, restaurants, and private house rentals are available. It also looks like SCUBA and surface boat support will be feasible. Duration will likely be 3-5 days with dive briefing/debriefing daily. It looks like a good opportunity to get numerous vessels in the water for diving, photo ops, and testing. We can even hold a public display like we have in the past.
