Mission Aquarius Aquanauts Splash Up!

August 1, 2012

On July 20, the Mission Aquarius Aquanauts completed their decompression and ‘splashed up’ to the surface offshore of Key Largo, Florida.  Following a busy day of interviews and meetings with conservation minded members of the Florida legislature, the Aquanauts joined us for a memorable fundraiser at the Diving History Museum in Islamorada. Talks are ongoing to look into continued Federal funding for Aquarius, and the possibility of private funding is also a hope to save this, the last underwater laboratory in the world.
