Abstract

A SCUBA diver swimming in front of the porthole window of Hydrolab, an underwater laboratory located on the seafloor which allowed scientists to live and work underwater for extended periods of time. The diver is wearing a diving mask and breathing through an oxygen regulator. The photograph is shot through the porthole window, from the inside looking out. Several fish are seen swimming near the diver. 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.
