Hi, Brian
Yeah, we had a couple of DW's and a dual DW in
Ventura - the red dual DW was out on two separate contracts for NOAA and
UCSB-Fisheries. The singles were on their way to Cape Canaveral for a NASA
contract doing asteroid drilling analog simulations at the Aquarius habitat (the
site was at Key Largo but we had to load the United Space Alliance vessel
'Liberty Star' at the cape). The project very successful but was cut short by a
pending hurricane - there were a number of astronauts in sat in the habitat and
there was a serious concern that the Hurricane could hit before they could
finish the decom required to return to the surface. It made a lot of newspapers
in the US and Canada. There are some great underwater shots on 'Flickr' - go

It's called 'NEEMO 15 - website'
Sure hope this opens for you guys - it's worth
seeing!
Regards
Phil
P.S. the Ventura/Canaveral sub crews are on their
way to New York tonight to start diving with the Nuytco Newtsuit crew 700
feet under the city - in the drinking water aqueduct system - our third trip
there this year. Ah, the life of a Newtroid is not a dull one!
