The anonymous investor is going to be revealed to be “Leon Skum” isn’t it?

It would be interesting to find out why anyone thinks this is a good idea.

I thought exactly the same at first but then I'm sure he'd be shouting it from the hilltops to gain investors and to boost his ego.

Andrew Ryan?

Not if it’s a bolt hole.

Deepstar Six < Abyss < Leviathan <<< Humanoids from the Deep.

I remember one of the early project and achievement in the 60s-70s : Precontinent by JY Cousteau

Interesting though to see someone invests in this when all eyes are focused on space

Probably that champion of Bellendery, Musk

If it’s not taxpayer-funded, I’m all for it. It’d be interesting to see what new types of aquatic life are discovered.

Does anyone here have experience as a submariner?

What's the pressure inside a sub?  Does this have any lasting effects on your health - physical or mental?  We all know about "the bends" but we see Navy submarines breaking through ice so burly men can play football (that's soccer to you Yanks) at the North Pole.  Don't you have to decompress 'n' stuff first?  

Most of my posts here are flippant but on this I'm genuinely interested!  The idea of a completely isolated, regulated system is really quite appealing.  Constant comfortable temperature, strenuous exercise every time you leave your pod, food and drink on tap because Elon Musk / George Soros / (insert your favourite megalomaniac billionaire here) doesn't actually want you to die during the experiment.  What's not to like?

Although... as a chronic alcoholic... will there still be a local Asian corner store flogging 9% "Polish lager"?  What's the point of living if you can't drink yourself to death?

There is a Marine Biologist in Florida that has been in a submersible type vehicle for about 2 months now.I think he's 100 feet down.

Felon Tusk could gladly go to the bottom of the ocean IMO.

Without oxygen

I would not want to live underwater, no mater how advanced it would be.
