The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center provides astronauts with training for future on-orbit procedures, including extravehicular activities. NASA also permits non-NASA guest divers, typically media photographers, to participate in the NBL diving experience. Guest divers must present a dive physical, completed within one year of the targeted diving opportunity. Individuals without a current U.S. Navy, Association of Diving Contractors, or British MA1 commercial diving physical must obtain an examination from a certified Diving Medical Examiner. Results are documented on the JSC Form 1830 "Report of Medical Examination" and reviewed by the NBL Dive Physician prior to participation.
