[PSUBS-MAILIST] PC2021

[Sean T. Stevenson via Personal_Submersibles]

I don't have a sub to bring, but I'd be happy to assist with sub ops again if I can make the dates work. Any need for a support / rescue diver?

Water temps will be high 80's to low 90's which means high cabin temps in any submarines that are diving. For those flying, Ft. Lauderdale is two hours by car, Miami is 1.5 hours by car. Recommend flying in/out on weekend if possible, weekday commuting traffic can be heavy.

Perhaps we should try to hook up with a scuba/snorkel charter at one of the reefs which would provide for some interesting photos. We could also check with University of Miami to see if they are interested in some kind of expedition.
