SITE SELECTION 



Fig. 72. The final site as shown on a three-dimensional 

 representation of the Sealab II area 



Dives southeast from point A indicated a fairly solid bottom with three to four inches of 

 silt and visibility of about 20 ft. The bottom was reasonably flat, with maximum inclinations of 

 ten degrees. This site (point C on Jig. 71, and the marking shown on Fig. 72) was considered 

 satisfactory, and preparations were then made to lower Sealab 11 in this area.
