...scientists and two crew members from the parent research vessel Seward Johnson took turns making the twice-daily three-hour dives in the Sea-Link. Originally built for ocean submersion, the craft had to be packed with a special foam embedded with air-filled glass bubbles to provide the greater buoyancy needed in less dense fresh water. The Sea-Link looks more like an underwater helicopter than a submarine. It has a bubble-like cockpit that seats the pilot and a scientist, and its nine reversible thrusters allow it to move in any direction or hover in place. Cameras...
