Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sub Curacao

Hi Phil:

Thanks, Vance kindly pointed out my faux pas.

I believe the Stella Maris was a "mistake" also. It was supposed to be sunk to

recreational scuba diving depth but ended up at 450ft.

I have been checking out the Curacao web site for updates but as you say,

I think they're having too much fun diving.

With dive descriptions like you've given it probably wouldn't take too much to

convince the Psub crowd to leave their boats at home & go to Curacao for the

next convention.

Regards Alan

Hi, Alan:

Errr, that was actually Aquarius ('AQ') arriving in Curacao for the pilot training and site familiarisation dives a year and a half ago - tbut, they are diving their brains out with the new 'Curasub' - multiple dives every day. I don't think the 'SubStation Curacao' website is keeping up but their u/w photog Barry Brown sent us some great shots - I'll be heading down there in the next couple of weeks, strictly (ahem)business, of course. May have to do a couple of dives on the 'beauty run' to the wreck of the 'Stella Maris' - pretty wild, the ship is a couple of hundred feet long, or more, and you can turn all your lights out (at around 500 feet) and still see the whole wreck, end to end. Clear water!

If you're thinking about a winter vacation, check out Curacao - great SCUBA diving too!

Tough life, this building of little submarines . . .

Phil

Hi all,

Some of you who were at convention may have missed the posts on Phils new sub "Curacao"

arriving at Sub Station Curacao.

Here's a youtube slide show of the arrival.

There are more pictures on the Sub station Curacao site.

Great looking sub, I think Curacao might be NO 1 on my holiday destination wish list.

Congratulations Phil on another great sub.

Regards Alan
