Sealab 1.

Man in the Sea Museum

Man in the Sea Museum has been updated in the past year, with a grand re-opening in February 2021. SEALAB is now a walk-through attraction. We have new exhibits inside, and we have several events planned for the 40th anniversary of the Museum in March 2022.

We're glad that this unique under-the-sea attraction has expanded its collection for the sake of all us landlubbers.

Museum of Man in the Sea

This place is amazing! Very affordable, interesting, interactive, etc. One man's dream. It's like it's out of a Wes Anderson movie.

Museum of Man in the Sea

This is an interesting collection of undersea exploration devices from early diving bells to Sealab. Kind of a "burial ground" for old bathyspheres, etc.

[T J Sawyer, 07/20/2003]

The crown jewel of the collection -- much of which is displayed out in the parking lot -- is Sealab 1, the world's first underwater home.
