I used a combintation of the hard, but professional, use of diving equipment by the personnel reporting to me as Director of the Scott Carpeneter Man in the Sea Program and the less demanding use by recreational divers and instructional staff of Tildens Dive Shop to evaluate and make recomendations concerning the Sea Quest sub-brand of U.S. Divers' equipment.

As the founding Director I was brought aboard by the Marine Resources Development Foundation to design the academic, training and safety program for an underwater analog to Space Camp. Unlike Space Camp, where everything is done in simulation, everything we did was real, which included using two work-in and live-in underwater habitats (lab and house), a deep submersible, and an on deck live-in hyperbaric chamber with a transfer under pressure (TUP) capability to a 3-man diving bell from with the diver could lockout once it reached the work depth.
