The best description I have heard is, imagine being on a tour bus. Now, fill it with 30 people, black out the windows, fill every cabinet with food and then put more cans of food on the floor with plyboards above them. Now drive the bus by committee with directions from a guy with a roadmap and a stopwatch. Now, do this for 3–6 months without opening the door to the bus.

Diving Station during an emergency drill. Same stations as before but with a Drill Monitor wearing a red hat. The crew are wearing Emergency Air Breathing (EAB) masks, which is a centralized air supply incase of smoke inhalation. This includes flash hoods and gloves to prevent burns. The brown sweaters are an organizational unique item.
