Grab your swimwear and diving gear, and come dive with us at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab in the warm, pure seas! NASA diver Arielle Valdez refers to this 6.2 million gallon pool as her office; it is a simulated microgravity environment where astronauts practice spacewalks. As she tells her narrative of how she transitioned from diving ruins all over the world to instructing astronauts on an underwater, accurate copy of the International Space Station, Arielle walks—or swims?—us through a typical day in the life of a NASA dive specialist.
