Hi Frank,
I am cordinating from Oregon. Phil will help with some details but
my job is to pull it all together. Phil is too busy to get deeply
involved.
Phil has offered to let us dive a couple of his Deep Workers and
another submersible.
I'll make arrangements for the crane. Phil gave me the contact
information for the company he uses. We will be paying for the usage of
the crane and operator. So expect a cost there. Way worth it to get to
dive a Deep Worker in my opinion. The only caution is that if Phil gets
a job in October his subs will be there making money instead of being
used gratis by us.
Can we use the crane to launch a PSUB, well let me know what
weights we are looking at the we will get a crane big enough. Otherwise
the cranes will be big enough for Deep Workers.
The dive location is a couple of blocks from Phil's shop off the
shore of North Vancouver. I assume it is salt water.
Regards,
Ray

Thanks Ray. I am really looking forward to next year's
convention. I could really kick my own ass for not making the 2008 in
Castine. I sure hope we have some subs there, and will investigate how
difficult it will be to get mine up there (provided it's ready).
I wonder if psubs will have any divers available. I'd like to do
some diving while up there, time permitting.
If we get some subs into Canada, will we be able to dive them in
salt water? We'll need a crane or good boat ramp, surface boat(s), and
lots of other stuff. Who's our main contact up there? I'd be willing
to share in some costs or help from here if I could be of any use. I
bet this is gonna be a good one. Frank D.
