We will likely pare this down a few days as we finalize plans and scheduling.? However, we have committed to the event occurring during the week of Jan 17th with technical presentations on Jan 23. Attending Vessels:We currently have three confirmed vessels including Toto K350, VAST 250, and The Great Escape 250.? Two additional vessels are likely to attend including R-400 and Nekton Gamma. Dive Operations:We are currently looking at two days of dive operations.? One in shallow bay water to gain familiarity and initial sea trials, the second off-shore in deeper water. Tours:None of these are confirmed, however we are investigating San Diego Maritime Museum including USS Dolphin submarine, USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum at Navy Pier, Birch Aquarium, and US Undersea Rescue Command COMSUBPAC. Lodging:We hope to have a central lodging location so we can all be close by to each other.? Expect recommendations later this summer.? Currently we are seeing rates in the $150-$600 per night range. Speakers/Presentations:If you have a project or topic you would like to present to the organization, let us know.? If there is a guest speaker from the area that you would recommend, please send us their name and contact information so we can consider them. As always, stay tuned, start planning, but remain flexible as the event solidifies over the next few months. Jon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
