Final assembly and checkout of the variable-depth underwater habitat design for the Wakulla 1 project. Made possible by a generous grant from Rolex USA, the habitat could be pre-stationed at -25 meters before the start of an exploration mission and then used for all decompression from there to the surface. An internal chain hoist permitted the returning exploration crew to gradually allow the hemispherical living quarters to rise to the surface in a controlled fashion. [photo ©1998 Carl Ganter].
