The nature of the "Sealab" underwater facility may have been suggested by real-world projects of the 1960s: the ConShelf Two project that Jacques Cousteau participated in, or the US Navy SEALAB.

According to John Piña Craven, the U.S. Navy's head of the Deep Submergence Systems Project of which SEALAB was a part, SEALAB III had been "plagued with strange failures at the very start of operations".
Bill Lobley (born in Bronxville, New York) is a comic actor known for his work in animation, commercials, and voiceovers for film, radio, and television; including the voice of the Parkay Margarine Tub in the late 90's, Adult Swim's Sealab 2021, and many best selling Video Games.
In the aftermath of aquanaut Berry L. Cannon's death while attempting to repair a leak in SEALAB III, Cousteau volunteered to dive down to SEALAB and help return it to the surface, although SEALAB was ultimately salvaged in a less hazardous way.
As a Master Diver, Sheats was assigned to the SEALAB I project, during which he ran the divers' topside support system.
The series took place at Sealab, an underwater research base based on the Challenger Seamount (an underwater mountain), in the year 2020 (48 years in the future at the time of broadcast).
