Discover Scuba Diving and Microgravity Program

The combination of the adventure of exploration and undersea technologies, provides an excellent opportunity to develop educational programs that make the subjects of science, history, oceanography and biology truly come alive for those students who have the desire to experience and work in the marine environment.

During the summer of 2005, Underwater Admiralty Sciences partnered with the Museum of Flight and conducted an Intruction to Scuba Diving and Microgravity Program for the students in the Aerospace Camp Experience. The program has become very popular and has grown from the initial pilot session to two separate programs being offered during four weeks of the summer ACE program. In the first program students learn about location and recovery of historic aircraft from underwater locations. The second program focuses on migrogravity and the types of training that astronauts experience in preparing for the weightless environment of space. The PADI Discover Scuba Course is taught and then the students actually get to experience SCUBA and the microgravity

environment of neutral buoyancy.

The program has also been included in the science program for the seventh grade class at the Seattle Girls' School.
