If your looking for me
You better check under the sea
Cause that is where you'll find me
Underneath the
Sealab, Underneath the water
Sealab, At the bottom of the sea.

About 4 years late, but whatever.

And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.

Watch our oceans die before your very eyes!

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well.

A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.

Subnautica vibes.

Billionaires first

This is for the oil and gas industry.

Ain't nobody paying for an underwater habitat for researchers when all researchers do at depth is take photos and samples, which can be done by an ROV.

Oil and Gas OTOH need deep see divers to do welding and other maintenance all the time.

That's a face

Because of its narcotic effect at high pressure, nitrogen shouldn’t be breathed by humans at depths below about 60 meters. So, at 200 meters, the breathing mix in the habitat will be 2 percent oxygen and 98 percent helium. But because of its very high thermal conductivity, “we need to heat helium to 31–32 °C to get a normal 21–22 °C internal temperature environment,”

😮

Will it be filled to the brim with billionaires so it can also malfunction and we are on time for the annual billionaire sacrifice to the sea gods?

high pressures are scary as shit.

apart from that, there's no sunlight down there. it's basically like living in antarctica.

I've been playing lots of Oxygen not Included, so... Yeah good luck, what could go wrong?

One step closer to SOMA

So Bioshock….

Sealab 2025?

i did that in vashj'ir in wow in 2010

What happened to biodomes? Did the Pauly Shore movie ruin the concept?

Ocean horizons 2.0 I hope.

Elon is probably the only superhero who could actually go there an show them all! Definitely not just any rich guy could do it.

Build them as connectable hexagons. Learn from the insects, they've had a half billion years to figure out what shit works and what shit don't.

Ocean is tough. Tougher than floating cities. Which are more realistic as real habitable environment.

I vote for Stanford torus stations in various L points.

Or, naturally, Mars.

Before that, of course, there are plenty of locations on Earth hard to live in, but not as hard as underwater domes. They should try that.
