Book Description
Field studies of the three 10 men teams of divers participating in the SEALAB II project were undertaken. During each team's 15 day submergence at 205 feet, psychomotor tests and a vision test were conducted in the water, and a mental arithmetic test in the habitat. Compared to base line performance (dry-land and shallow water conditions), performance on the mental arithmetic test showed no deterioration while performance on the psychomotor tests showed considerable deterioration. Many divers found that their in-water activities proceeded slowly; among other causes of a more physical nature, concern for one's safety may detract from the amount of attention one gives to the task at hand. The most active divers in the SEALAB group were those who indicated that they were least fearful and least aroused by the conditions and who were helpful, gregarious, and made least telephone contact with the outside world.

Book Description
For the SEALAB II project, the U. S. Naval Ordnance Test Station was assigned responsibility for all surface operational support. The underwater site was selected in cooperation with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. A staging area was established at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard and a staging vessel was provided and modified to meet the needs of the program. Complete system integration and checkout were performed. All necessary operational support, personnel, equipment, and material were supplied. (Author)

Undersea Geopolitics
Author: Rachael Squire
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 178660731X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
This book furthers academic scholarship in cutting-edge areas of geographical and geopolitical writing by drawing on a series of little-studied undersea living projects conducted by the US Navy during the Cold War (Project Genesis, Sealab I, II and III). Supported by an engaging and novel empirical setting, the central themes of the book revolve around the practice and construct of ‘territory’, ‘terrain’, the ‘elemental’ and the interrelationships between these material phenomenon and both human and non-human bodies. Furthermore, the book will point to future research trajectories in the form of ‘extreme geographies’ to better understand living practices in a world that is increasingly submerged and extreme.
