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 to:

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!

Guess I missed Nuytco research at Ventura Harbor recently.
Heard they were looking at oil rig habitats and also had a project with
UCSB. Saw some pictures at the boat yard of a couple of Deep
Workers and another red sub that looked like a double Deep Worker.
Need to have a nuytco in town alert system !
