Abstract
Photograph of Hydrolab, an underwater laboratory located on the seafloor which allowed scientists to live and work underwater for extended periods of time, seen on the left and the Portable Underwater Talking Station (PUTS) seen on the right. 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. Two SCUBA divers are seen inside PUTS with only the lower half of their bodies visible from outside the PUTS. 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.
