As Americans were becoming entranced with the effort to land a man on the moon, these divers, including one of NASA’s most famous astronauts, were breaking depth barrier records underwater. SEALAB tells the little-known story of the daring program that tested the limits of human endurance and revolutionized the way humans explore the ocean.
