A-shift headed to the pool to train on the surface-supplied air system. The new umbilicals with integrated communications are a great safety factor when diving in murky water (as we do most of the time in the Chesapeake Bay and it's tributaries). All personnel had the chance to operate the dive console and use the comm system. Our thanks go out to the Woods Community Center for allowing us to use a few lanes of the pool for the morning.
