Steve, actually the project that you reported on was NEEMO, but the site is run by NOAA. NASA was using the site for their testing, as you note, but Aquarius is part of NOAA’s ongoing undersea research program. It really is very cool stuff and the analogy to space operations is obvious (and it is good to see governmental organizations cooperating!).

Still, there is not a whole lot of variation in pools. Although once they started using movable bulkheads it did feel nice on the feet at flip turns.

I have written about that site, previously on my blog (seehttp://theprofessornotes.com/archives/120). It is “NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations” or NEEMO (see http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/NEEMO/), and is part of their program to study operating in hostile environments as an analogy to operating in space.
