What does a habitat technician do inside Aquarius?

I keep track of and log all of the dive times and tables for the aquanauts so they know how much time they have for the depths where they are working. Everyone wants to know their “allowables,” that’s what we call time left to go diving. I also keep track of their locations and when they refill tanks. I have mission checklists to run through for all of the habitat systems and safety equipment. Periodically I monitor the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, pressure in our high-pressure air banks, and the status of electrical systems. All of this is tracked back at mission control too, using our telemetry and data acquisition systems. I keep the watch desk on shore informed on all of the above information, and coordinate for surface support dives to bring down whatever equipment or supplies are needed. Every three days we change out the sodasorb in the carbon dioxide scrubbers. Whenever anything breaks Byron and I have to fix it. Fortunately we also have the surface crew to help us out or send down replacement parts or equipment. And, of course, there is always the general cleaning of the inside of the habitat, which I am sure my boss Craig will say we do not do often enough. Keep those emails and questions coming.
