THE FIRST UNDERWATER LABORATORY to be developed in West Germany will make its first dive next May. Four oceanographers want to probe the bed of the North Sea off the rocky island of Heligoland. Tests will show how the heart and circulatory system react to manual labour in and out of the pressure chamber and over longer periods in cold water. The aquanauts will also try to find out the best food for a life on the seabed. A model and a drawing of the “sealab” at work are illustrated. Construction is under way at Lubeck and the cost of the “sealab,” which will have a continual audio and vision link with the surface, 'will be about 192,000 dollars.
