Founded in 1927, NEDU develops timely, cost-effective solutions to support and improve manned operations in undersea and other extreme environments through biomedical research and independent testing and evaluation. The Unit must approve all life support equipment used under water. Materials document the history of diving and the invention and testing of equipment and is the primary source of diving and hyperbaric operational guidance for the US Navy. The Navy Experimental Diving Unit houses one of the world's largest technical libraries of diving information.
