March 2 (UPI) -- The Navy teamed up with NASA astronauts and engineers last week to test a technology that allows divers to work more efficiently underwater and could be used the next time astronauts return to the moon.
Divers from the Naval Sea Systems Command's Supervisor of Salvage and Diving joined the NASA team at the Sonny Carter Training Facility in Houston between Feb. 24 and 26 to test the Navy's second-generation Diver Augmented Vision Display system, Sea Systems Command said.

The system enabled divers to receive step-by-step instructions via its high-resolution heads-up display while completing complicated tasks, and also used active sonar to send basic navigation to divers as they worked in low-visibility environments.
