The second habitat will be used during Project Seause (Battelle et al., 

 1968; Breckenridge, 1969). This project will study in detail Cobb Seamount, 

 in the Pacific Ocean off the state of Washington. The rock summit of the sea- 

 mount, which reaches to within 1 20 feet of the sea surface, has been studied 

 indirectly with various types of instrumentation and directly by SCUBA divers. 

 A habitat has been designed for use at the site. This habitat appears to be simi- 

 lar to the Makai Habitat II (Aegir). 



The third habitat, a modified version of Tektite I , was used during 

 the summer of 1 970 in the Tektite 1 1 program (Ocean Industry, 1 969) . The 

 same site in the Virgin Islands was utilized for a period of approximately 7 

 months. A new, two-man habitat, located at a 100-foot water depth, was 

 also employed during a portion of the program.
