One of the exhibits found at the Man in the Sea Museum is U.S. Navy SEALAB I.[4] SEALAB I was an experiment to test the limits of humans living under the surface of the ocean.[5] Another exhibit displays gear engineered for commercial diving. [4] The Man in the Sea Museum also displays Underwater Submersibles, allowing us to examine early submersibles in order to acknowledge their role in the evolution of technology.[6]
