Abstract
Dr. John C. Ogden, of West Indies Laboratory, in the PUTS (Portable Underwater Talking Station) of Hydrolab, an underwater laboratory located on the seafloor which allowed scientists to live and work underwater for extended periods of time. Dr. Ogden is wearing SCUBA diving gear and talking on a phone, possibly communicating with other researchers in Hydrolab or with Hydrolab's operations team on the surface. The PUTS is a small house-like structure next to Hydrolab which has a pocket of trapped air that allowed divers to swim in and talk with one another without having to reenter Hydrolab. At the time of the photograph, Hydrolab was located at a depth of approximately 50 feet in Salt River submarine canyon, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.
