• EXCURSION TO MarineLab PROGRAM:

MarineLab is a working manned underwater lab which has been operational since 1984 for scientific and educational Aquanaut Missions.  You will experience the living conditions, equipment, instrumentation and lagoon critters that researchers and students are exposed to during Aquanaut Missions which have been held for up to a ten day duration.  These missions have included NOAA, NASA, U.S. NAVY, and many high schools, colleges and universities around the United States.

You may choose either an afternoon or an evening excursion as they can be very different and is approximately one hour long. 

Price:  Your Marine Lab Excursion is $150.00 per person and please book your excursion when you make your reservation to ensure availability. 

• THE MANNED UNDERWATER LABORATORY SPECIALTY PROGRAM:

Requires the Aquanaut Specialty Program.

This program is for those ready to move beyond just living underwater.  We involve techniques used by Aquanauts and researchers when living under the sea.  You will be involved with submerged station atmospheric monitoring, surrounding environmental water quality monitoring, fish and invertebrate collection/identification and plankton collection/identification.  There will be a morning, afternoon and an evening dive incorporating these techniques.  Much of your time will be spent in the Marine Lab Habitat, although, your meals and sleeping will be inside Jules' Undersea Lodge. 

This experience is ideal for those who want to expand upon their undersea journey.  An after diner presentation/discussion in Jules' Undersea Lodge on the history and technology of living and working under the sea precedes the night dive. 

Price:   The Manned Underwater Laboratory Specialty Program is an additional $250.00 per person and can be either a NAUI or PADI  Specialty certification.   Please book your program when reserving your Aquanaut Specialty Program to insure availability.
