The TEKTITE II facilities (Figure 1) consisted of an underwater habitat, 

 service barge, decompression barge, dive platform, surface support 

 center, causeway pier, and base camp, all located in and around the 

 Lameshur Bay operational site. The operational facilities and their 

 locations closely parallel those of TEKTITE I, the principal difference 

 being a shore-based surface support center and a towable decompression 

 complex. 



Additional facilities located on St. Thomas consisted of a public rela- 

 tions office at Red Hook and an administrative office at Sapphire Bay.
