8 | Dr. Bob Sanders of NASA takes us in-depth to The Neutral Buoyancy Lab daily scuba operations

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. Bob was kind enough to invite me to his home to discuss diving, space, the NBL and his own personal experience in scuba diving.  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. 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! In this interview we hear about who dives at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, and it isn't just astronauts!  We learn about the incredible medical capabilities on site, space suit development, and what it takes to make it all go around.  I hope you loved soaking up what Dr. Sanders has to say about this fascinating facility as much as I did!
