The rest became undersea destinations for recreational divers. Each fish has intricate details and is handpainted in varying shades of grey or white. It features a lovely arrangement of fish, swimming together peacefully in one direction. When the experiment ended, two structures were dismantled and removed. Set a peaceful under-the-sea tone in your home with this unique piece. Two support ships on the surface provided compressed air and other logistical support to Precontinent II. Men on the bottom performed a number of experiments intended to determine the practicality of working on the sea floor and were subjected to continual medical examinations. The undersea colony was supported with air, water, food, power, and all other essentials of life, from a large support team above. The undersea living experiment also had two other structures, one a submarine hangar that housed a small, two man submarine referred to as the 'diving saucer' for its resemblance to a science fiction flying saucer, and a smaller 'deep cabin' where two oceanauts lived at a depth of 30 metres for a week. In 1963, six oceanauts lived 10 metres down in the Red Sea, at Sha’ab Rumi off Sudan, in a starfish-shaped house for 30 days. Two scuba divers spent two weeks in a small chamber 12 meters deep on the seabed. In (2 points) e2 is refracted angle, 1 is incident angle. If the incident wave crests make an angle of 30 degrees with the shelf, and the angle of refraction is 49 degrees, what is the velocity of the refracted wave (2 pts). Precontinent I was constructed offshore from Marseille, France, in 1962. Water waves moving at 1.0 m/s approach an underwater 'shelf' where the velocity changes. Precontinent I Habitat 'Diogenes', Conshelf I Each following project was aimed at increasing the depth at which people continuously lived under water. The projects were named Precontinent I (Conshelf One), Precontinent II (Conshelf Two) and Precontinent III (Conshelf Three). The alternate designation Precontinent has also been used to describe the set of projects to build an underwater 'village' carried out by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his team. It was the successor to Continental Shelf Station One (Conshelf One). Continental Shelf Station Two or Conshelf Two was an attempt at creating an environment in which people could live and work on the sea floor.
