Summary

Conceived and initiated in the turmoil of the 1960s, Project Tektite reflected the excitement and urgency of Cold War threats, a space race to the moon and the dawn of a grass- roots environmental movement. Seven aquanauts were trained for the 60-day mission. (Gary Davis, NPS). The Tektite Underwater habitat was in place in Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI from 1969-1970.

This is a collection of high-resolution scuba diving photos that you can use for free. Not only it is free to use without restrictions, but probably the largest collection of this type. Large Picryl public domain collections are made possible with aid of GetArchive's Image recognition technology.
