U.S. Naval Applied Science Laboratory - Helium speech unscramblers 



U.S. Naval Hospital, San Diego - Postdive aquanaut physical examinations 



U.S. Naval Missile Center - Porpoise evaluation and audiometric measurements 



of aquanaut s 

 U.S. Naval Ordnance Laboratory - swimmer knife evaluation, stud gun engineering 

 U.S. Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory - Radio-isotope studies of possible iron 



deficiencies 

 U.S. Naval School of Aviation Medicine - Predive aquanaut physical examinations 

 U.S. Naval Training Station, San Diego - Provided IBM card coders and observers for 



psychological monitoring 

 U.S. Navy Underwater Sound Laboratory - Underwater swimmer auditory test equipment 

 U.S. Rubber Company - Experimental heated wet suits

The on-site organization is outlined in Fig. 9. It must be emphasized, however, that the 

 principal concern of a test of the nature of Sealab II is that of safety of the aquanauts.

Consequently, to a large extent, the ocean-floor work load of the aquanauts was controlled by 

 the Medical Affairs Officer. As this concept of ocean floor habitation moves more toward op- 

 erational objectives, the external control of the aquanauts' direct work load will be by a topside 

 salvage diving officer. Medical officers will then function in a monitoring and emergency role, 

 as they now do in conventional diving operations.
