A friend of mine has just broken the record of 100 days living under water. He is aiming for 120 days.
i did that in vashj’ir in wow in 2010
Subnautica vibes.
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.

If only they explained their reasoning somewhere… all these headlines are so inconsiderate.

What part of the opening rationale was incomprehensible?
“With current diving at 150 to 200 meters, you can only get 10 minutes of work completed, followed by 6 hours of decompression. With our underwater habitats we’ll be able to do seven years’ worth of work in 30 days with shorter decompression time. More than 90 percent of the ocean’s biodiversity lives within 200 meters’ depth and at the shorelines, and we only know about 20 percent of it.”

Humans are the ones tooling and retooling these units for specific purposes, which can be done far more efficiently in situ in an underwater habitation. Along with any other human activities that will be occurring, such as immediate study in a dedicated lab facility.

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.
And in 2026, deep divers will be searching for datapads to find out what went wrong.
“So we found these slugs that produce magic stem cells…”
Maybe the pact holds longer in those silos 😆
I’ve been playing lots of Oxygen not Included, so… Yeah good luck, what could go wrong?
i legit thought this was some wacky futurist article from 10 years ago that someone posted for fun
Billionaires first
high pressures are scary as shit.
apart from that, there’s no sunlight down there. it’s basically like living in antarctica.
What happened to biodomes? Did the Pauly Shore movie ruin the concept?
He made too much trouble in that bubble
I guess the people in charge haven’t read the rifters trilogy. I don’t trust any of ‘em, but at least we already have a pandemic; they probably can’t make it worse.
So basically Rapture
I was thinking more like PATHOS-II.
