NEW EXHIBITS 2015 was another strong year for num’s exhibition department. The exhibit team continued its ongoing efforts to replace the museum’s aging exhibits with new, engaging ones. Following 2014’s focus on submarine and deep submergence history, we switched gears in 2015 — temporary exhibits developed and installed this year expanded our diving interpretation. This year also brought plans for new exhibits projects to come, both in 2016 and longer term. NEDU: RISING TO THE CHALLENGE Opened September 25 The Navy Experimental Diving Unit (nedu) is the diving community’s secret weapon — it keeps Navy Divers, eod techs, and Special Forces divers safe and expands their diving abilities. This new exhibit tells the story of nedu and its most notable accomplishments, including developing the decompression tables used worldwide and certifying diving equipment to the Navy’s exacting standards.
