An effort was made to develop analog tests to Fleishman's Gross Motor Performance Battery for administration underwater. This was an initial effort focused upon the demonstration of feasability of the effort and the development of an initial battery for demonstration purposes. Results indicated that it would be possible to develop such an analog for use in selection, training, and equipment evaluation underwater.
