Up From The Sea - Aquanauts End Underwater Stay
Aquanaut Scott Carpenter and one of his crews of ten return to the surface after a stay in Sealab Two. Carpenter spent 29 days below - twice as long as any man - while three crews of ten men each manned the undersea chamber for fifteen days each. Sea Lab II was in a depth of water of 205 ft. Using synthetic breathing gas of helium, Oxygen and nitrogen. After decompression, Carpenter meets with his wife and has more tales to add to his experiences as the second American to orbit the earth and setting a new record for living underwater, the only American to do both.
