Does anybody know if it is possible to dive in NASA's big pool with the space station mockup?
 
A coincidence, I was just reading about that (neutral buoyancy in water vs microgravity in space) in a book about star sailors (astronauts) written in 1954 by a physicist named Goodwin.
 
And when speaking about the NBL, you may be also interested in another NASA's diving facility - the NEEMO (NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations) habitat. Have a look at this interesting article about it:

Finding NEEMO Helps NASA Prepare for the Future | Universe Today

Some pictures from the article (credits: NASA)



And you may find the thread about oversized pools also interesting, since it lists not only the NBL, but also some other facilities attractive for diving: http://forums.deeperblue.com/freediving-science/71255-oversized-pools.html

And there was a film too, keep on swimming, keep on swimming.
