Abstract
Morgan Wells was an aquanaut on both SeaLabII (1965) and Tektite II (1970). While on both missions, he writes to "Debb" about life at the bottom of the sea. While onboard Tektite II, the crew experienced an earthquake, thunderstorms, and near miss of a hurricane. Wells writes about evacuation for a hurricane in his letter of August 30, 1970. A newspaper clipping records the return of Wells, along with fellow aquanauts following a training mission in Florida for the SeaLab II mission.
