In the late 1960s, the U.S. Navy launched a program inspired by the work and theories of one George Bond. That program, dubbed Sealab, would lead to the implementation of so-called saturation diving that allowed divers to live, work, eat and sleep hundreds of feet beneath the ocean’s surface in pressurized capsules. Lessons learned from the short-lived program are still in use today, utilized in covert operations and deep-sea exploration.

At the California Institution for Men, a state prison in Chino, there’s a program that trains inmates to dive deep. At the on-site Marine Technology Training Center, students study commercial diving both underwater and in the classroom. Founded in 1970, the 18-month course has graduated hundreds of men—many of whom have gone on to jobs on oil rigs and ships and only 6 percent of whom have returned to prison.
