Jay, I would be very interested in the
guidelines for tourist subs. Chs Hugh. From: owner- I
have volunteered to facilitate the new session on developing a standardized
PSUBS Ops Manual that could be easily adopted for the particular needs of
individual PSUBS. While conducting research so I would be prepared for
this session, looked around the web for someone else’s Ops Manual to no
avail. Could find Users Manuals for various research subs but this was
not what was needed. Emailed Vance and he pointed me to further research
sub manuals but again these were User Manuals. Then I remember that I had
a copy of Prizlaff’s international
Safety Standard Guidelines for the Operation of Tourist Submersibles
on my bookshelf. This has a 100+ pages of large-print, boilerplate
operation manual that is formatted for tourist subs which I can definitely copy
for handouts prior to the session so attendees can become familiar with the
material. Hopefully I can also OCR (convert it into text) so that we can
wordsmith it into a PSUBS Ops Manual. Jon & Ray could then take this
finished boilerplate and adopt it to the needs of managing subs in the water at
future conferences. Questions: 1.
Are there any PSUBS members who
are already familiar with this text? 2.
Other than just attending the
session, who might be interested in editing a section of the Tourist Submersibles manual for PSUBS
ops? This could include those that will not be at the Conference. 3.
Are there members that would be
interested in the final product? 4.
What else do we need to do? R/Jay |
