Re: Underwater Expo
Jon,
I was at the show and saw the vendors Vance mentioned. The low voltage
lighting can be seen at the following website:

The phased array sonar (about $2000 for the low end unit) is at:

Another vendor I talked to had a low cost camera on a cable for about $1100, a
12vdc system with a feed for a video camera or vcr:

There were perhaps about 100 vendors and most were selling equipment and
systems way out of my price range but these were definately tugging at my
checkbook and may get my business soon.
Hopefully the next show will have more of the P-Sub group represented. We are
just starting to see the generation of the true "personal submersible" and the
costs are coming down to capture the market. Lots of business opportunities
out there.
