Beginning our fifth day, we all got up early, ate breakfast, and drove out to the NELHA facility to look more in depth in ocean air cooling and other facilities.

Starting off this morning we went off to eat breakfast, then got the sun screen ready because today we weren't going dive.

Finishing up with breakfast we followed our routine and hopped on the taxi with Glenn and headed out to the docks. On the agenda for today was a wreck dive,...
