The Man in the Sea Museum preserves the history of diving. Opened (and owned) by the Institute of Diving in 1982, the museum showcases the progress of diving technology, featuring diving gear, suits, masks and helmets, small submarines and pods, the U.S. Navy SEALAB-1 (the world's first undersea habitat), the U.S. Navy Deep Dive System Mark 1 (an experimental dive system built in 1968), and other diving related objects and submersibles. Treasures from sunken ships dating to the 1500s are also housed at the museum. The Institute of Diving was founded in 1977.
