Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Lake Mead Sub tourism
Ricci-Thanks for the invitation. My wife is flying to Las Vegas next week for a reunion but the very mention of small submersibles scares hell out of her. She is diver certified but some of the contraptions and suggestions I have come up with over the years still makes her nervous. I don't know if I could even get her aboard an SSBN. I would love to dive with you. Keep us all posted and good luck. Regards, Mark Steed
