7 | Dr. Bob Sanders of NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab talks about teaching Scuba Diving

from The Scuba Diving Podcast · host Kenny Dyal

Yes, astronauts scuba dive...a LOT.  In fact, they train for spacewalks underwater! Dr. Bob Sanders is the Medical Director of NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory in Houston, Texas.  He is a scuba instructor, and avid diver, with a logbook that spans the globe! Bob was kind enough to invite me to his home to discuss diving, space, the NBL and his own personal experience in scuba diving (and teaching as a scuba instructor).   Inspiring, intelligent, and an important interview for anyone looking to make diving a career, is in the diving industry, or who simply wants to enhance their own life through diving or teaching diving. From Antartica to the California Coast, Texas to the International Space Station, scuba diving is everywhere. And of course, we get to learn about the NBL, astronauts, space suit development, and some incredible wild facts from under water to outer space!
