#DELIVER US THE MOON THE AQUANAUT PLUS#
Aquanaut derives from the Latin word aqua ("water") plus the Greek nautes ("sailor"), by analogy to the similar construction " astronaut". An aquanaut is distinct from a submariner, in that a submariner is confined to a moving underwater vehicle such as a submarine that holds the water pressure out. Commercial divers in similar circumstances are referred to as saturation divers. The term is often restricted to scientists and academics, though there were a group of military aquanauts during the SEALAB program. Usually this is done in an underwater habitat on the seafloor for a period equal to or greater than 24 continuous hours without returning to the surface. Aquanaut Josef Schmid working outside the Aquarius underwater laboratory in 2007.Īn aquanaut is any person who remains underwater, breathing at the ambient pressure for long enough for the concentration of the inert components of the breathing gas dissolved in the body tissues to reach equilibrium, in a state known as saturation.
