CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS- SHIPWRECKS/2015
Primary presentations may be up to 45 minutes in length, but most are approximately 20 - 25 minutes, with additional time allotted for question and answer. Live commentary is preferred to "canned" packages.
Short, 5 minute maximum, presentations (primarily to introduce new topics or presenters) are also being requested.
All presentations should be shipwreck-related and we try for an even split between recreational and technical topics.
