In the 1930s, the Navy built the Dive Tank House as a diving laboratory and a training ground for submarine crews. Today it can be likened to a cabinet of curiosities with a lot of cool diving stuff! In addition to the old diving tank and lab that remain as they were left when the house closed in 1979, you can look at the very first water scooter, heavy diving equipment and much more!
