| MUCH LIKE THE NASA ASTRONAUTS TRAIN UNDERWATER FOR SPACE WALKS, OUR TEAMS TRAIN IN OUR DIVE CENTER POOL ON A ROUTINE BASIS. DECOMPRESSION TIME-LIMITS DICTATE HOW LONG WE HAVE TO PERFORM EACH TASK, SO ALL TEAMS MUST BE AS PROFICIENT AS POSSIBLE AT DEPLOYING THEIR ASSIGNED EQUIPMENT. THIS EQUIPMENT IS QUITE SPECIALIZED, AND THERE ARE SPECIFIC TECHNIQUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE POSITIONING AND UTILIZATION OF EACH DEVICE. WE TRAIN IN LIGHTED AS WELL AS AND FULL-DARK CONDITIONS, BOTH IN THE OCEAN AND IN THE POOL ENVIRONMENT, SO AS TO BE READY FOR ANY CHALLENGE. HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF OUR DIVERS IN ACTION, DURING VARIOUS TEAM-TRAINING DRILLS. |
