Owned by the Institute of Diving, this museum takes a close look at the sport. Interactive exhibits let you crank up a Siebe pump, climb into a Beaver Mark IV submersible, check out models of underwater laboratory Sealab III and find out how diving bells really work. There's also a cool collection of old diving suits and a sea life–filled aquarium.
