Weeelll...no....
But if I got to dive in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory pool you better believe I'd log it!
All the best, James
Roger that! However, the chances of that are reeeeeaallly slim. I had the opportunity to talk to a couple of the support divers for the NBL at a science conference. I said essentially the same thing (I think I said I'd give my eye-teeth to be able to dive there) and one of the divers said the old line, "Well, we'd let you, but then we'd have to kill you." The other diver said, "It's not the diving skills, but the security clearances you have to have to get in there." I laughed and quipped, "Why? What do you guys have in there...a Russian satellite?"
The first one looked over at the second one and deadpanned, "We might have to kill him anyway."
