Aquarius Reef Base

Inside Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary's Conch Reef Research Only Area lies the Aquarius Reef Base, the world's only underwater research laboratory. Scientists come here from around the world to study the ocean, test technology, and obtain training for future work deep in the ocean or far into outer space.
