[PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2023

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

If Michigan is on the list, I would definitely want to explore the mackinaw
area which has a huge number of wrecks. The need for dedicated support tows
and or barges would be best, as well as number of support divers would be
needed.  I know that Bernie and I still need to do some deep water
shakedowns before that. If our typical winter holds here in California, I
will be doing that in December / January for the Vast. Bernie will have to
wait till the ice melts. Tahoe could be a great area if we can find a
dedicated property rental with its own dock and ramp. The park at Sand
Harbour was capable of handling the subs, but the downside is having to go
to Carson City for HP air and or dive supplies which is a pain. Currently
the Tahoe Dive Center at stateline is closed for the season, scheduled to
reopen in April of 23. They can do hp fills by appointment only in the off
season.
