Gang, This years PNW SCUBA festival will be held in the town of Hoodsport on the dates of 16 and 17 September. http://www.nwdivenews.com/scubafestival/index.htm Last year, we had a great show, and raised a little money for charity. This year, its going to be a two day event, with lots of contests and prizes to be won and given away. I just got the news yesterday that George Irvine, project leader for the WKPP (www.wkpp.org) and Jarrod Jablonski, President of GUE (www.gue.com) will be joining the festival, with a display and a couple of presentations on the record setting dives they are doing in the caves of the Woodville Karst Plain, and a presentation on the GUE dive to the Britannic (http://www.gue.com/research/britannic/index.shtml). These are the guys who define DIR, and set the standard for technical diving worldwide. Last year we had some gents from the US Navy SEALS show up with their LARV's, and Scammahorn with his MK15's and 16's. The Marines brought a big inflatable Drill Instructor (the babes were wowed by him and the guns on SSGT Poff). This year we hope to get a recon team to join us (no word yet). The Historical Diving Society (http://www.thehds.com/) will also have a cool display. We are hoping to have a US Navy EOD unit display the tools of their trade as well. Many local and National merchants will be displaying their wares, and opportunity to dive some of the gear will be available. This is an outstanding opportunity to meet, greet, dive, learn and share what we love most about our sport. Put some names to faces, meet some of the major players in SCUBA diving today. See you there! Scott -- http://hood.hctc.com/~hsd/index.htm -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
