SEALAB I, II, and III were experimental underwater habitats developed and deployed by the United States Navy during the 1960s to prove the viability of saturation diving and humans living in isolation for extended periods of time. The knowledge gained from the SEALAB expeditions helped advance the science of deep sea diving and rescue and contributed to the understanding of the psychological and physiological strains humans can endure.

==United States Navy Genesis Project== thumb|left|upright|Captain George F. Bond, MD, senior medical officer and principal investigator for the SEALAB I and II experiments. Preliminary research work was undertaken by George F. Bond, who named the project after the Book of Genesis, which prophesied humans would gain dominion over the oceans. Bond began investigations in 1957 to develop theories about saturation diving. Bond's team exposed rats, goats, monkeys, and human beings to various gas mixtures at different pressures. By 1963 they had collected enough data to test the first SEALAB habitat.
