Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] UI 2011
Thanks, Vance. Let me know when I can process my application.
Is joining MTS the same as joining MUVMTS?
I.e, via this link:
https://www.mtsociety.org/membership/new/add.aspx
Cheers,
Ian.

Website problems are being worked on as we speak. A real whiz of a guy is doing it, and I think you will see things changing this year. The primary web page is the one you want to start with, and please keep an eye on the MUV committee. When changes are implemented, I will let you know on psubs as I find out about them. And the city named MTS units are local chapters.

Hi Vance,
thanks for the information.
Which website are you referring to? Is it this one:
https://www.mtsociety.org/home.aspx
Note they are a few other Marine Technology Societies, are they
related to the MTS you referred to? (San Diego MTS, Houston MTS, etc.)
Previously I've tried to join the MTSMUV:
http://www.mtsmuv.org/
But their website seems rather broken (at least for registering)
and they never replied to any of my emails asking for help or
pointing out problems in the their website.
Cheers!
Ian.

All,
I'd definitely recommend any interested psubbers make the trip to New Orleans
(the next UI is in January '12). Lots of toys to look at, professionals to talk
to, and a more or less open forum for the sub stuff that either isn't available
at all, or barely available even by an interested Googler. The venue is
excellent, food good, program excellent and the girls.....well, let's just say
wow and move on.
Jon was being mighty comprehensive in his note, for which I am grateful. I'll
add that there was as much to learn in side conversations as otherwise, so the
personal visit is, as I said, very much worth the trip. We were able to ask the
SwRI project engineers any questions we wanted about the Alvin replacement hull
project, for instance. Want to know about silver-zinc battery packs? Zoe was
there with then answers. Legal ramifications? Mir operations? Jamstec's new 7000
meter boat? HBOI future plans? All there for the asking. Nuytco? Antibodes? ABS?
Seamagine? Treasure diving? Kirby-Morgan dive gear? Video Ray? Blue-View sonar?
Yup. Everybody was there.
The other good news was that out of all the committee meetings and so on, the
Manned Underwater Committee group (which I co-chair with Wil Kohnen) was by far
the best attended. It was impressive enough that my old boss, Drew Michel, who
runs the ROV side and is the president-elect of MTS itself, made a special point
to come and congratulate us during our committee meething the last afternoon of
the conference. We even discussed money. The MUV committee wants to parallel the
ROV committee and make grants available to deserving college students studying
our particular field. That may be the very best long-term result from this whole
deal.
Also, I would urge everyone to join the Marine Technology Society (you can do it
on their web site). Tons of information available, more to come, and lots of
contacts. For the committed, it's hard to beat for the money. Maybe for ANY
money.
Dan Lance did a great job keeping up with money, paperwork and who was doing
what to whom,. Wil Kohnen, as the MUV committee chair, had gone way and above in
preparation, had most everything at his fingertips, and made the whole thing
move swimmingly. I'm not sure those two would have missed me if I had failed to
show up, but I certainly enjoyed working in such great company. The whole
conference was truly an impressive deal. If you can join us next year, you will
not regret it.
And I will volunteer as of now to buy the first round for psubbers at the Ugly
Dog Saloon.
Vance
