Afloat in a small life raft, astronaut Thomas D. Akers, mission specialist, is assisted by two SCUBA-equipped divers during emergency bailout training at the Johnson Space Center's (JSC) Weightless Environment Training Facility (WET-F). The scene was photographed from the simulated setting of the Space Shuttle and its long pole down which the crew members would slide on the way to a parachute landing into water.
