USN's Sealab III project, in which five aquanaut teams were to spend 12 days each in 60-day test of man's ability to work under water for long periods, started early when four of first team of nine men were dispatched to repair helium leak in 57 X 12-ft habitat, 600 ft beneath Pacific Ocean off San Clemente Island, Calif. Remaining five aquanauts were scheduled to descend in pressurized personnel-transfer capsules 12 hrs later to join colleagues in performing experiments in marine biology, geology, acoustics, and ecology.
