Do you dream about living underwater? We do! So let's chat about it. We cover a broad range of topics; submersibles, SCUBA diving, underwater habitats and living, and more. We interview people from all spectrum of the underwater living and exploration.
In this August 10, 2026 episode of Colonize the Ocean, Brendon Traxler kicks off a mini-series on ambitious underwater habitats and resorts that never made it.He dives into the biggest name of them all: Poseidon Undersea Resorts, the project led by Bruce Jones of U.S. Submarines. The domain dates back to 2003 (over 20 years old), and the idea itself is even older—Jones had been floating concepts for an underwater habitat years earlier.The website is still online and looks solid, but the project went dead in the water. Last social media activity was in 2014, when they claimed they were about 36 months away (pointing to a 2016 opening). Nothing ever happened. Jones later shifted focus more toward private submarines.Brendon believes it was a genuine effort—not just a PR stunt. The designs were stunning and could have delivered a strong return, but the price tag (likely around half a billion dollars) was massive. Like so many other underwater projects, it simply never materialized.He asks listeners: Do you remember Poseidon? Did you ever want to stay there?

The company DEEP recently launched an underwater habitat called Vanguard off the coast of Florida to facilitate long-term marine research and environmental monitoring. This innovative structure allows a four-person crew to live and work at depths of 56 feet, utilizing a process called saturation to extend dive times significantly. The facility features a living chamber, a dive center with a moon pool, and a dedicated support system to manage waste and safety. Beyond scientific discovery, the habitat serves as a vital training ground for astronauts due to the similarities between isolated aquatic environments and spaceflight. Vanguard represents a primary step toward creating a modular underwater station similar to the International Space Station, aiming for a permanent human presence beneath the sea. This technology minimizes sample degradation and removes the time constraints typically imposed by standard decompression requirements.

Brendon is back with another episode of Colonize the Ocean, still refining the setup and audio while juggling longer-format ideas. This time he zeros in on one of the biggest questions in the underwater habitat world right now:Deep is in the water. They’ve secured funding, built a habitat, and are actually operating. That was the spotlight Fabian Cousteau and Proteus had owned for years. So… what now?Brendon’s take:* You can never have too many underwater habitats. * Deep’s progress should (hopefully) be a net positive for everyone in the space. * There’s still a clear need and place for Proteus. * He’d love to hear what the community thinks.
He also shares a personal note: meeting Fabian a couple years ago at a SeaLab event remains a bucket-list highlight, and he’s hoping to catch up with him again soon to hear where things stand.Coming up:* A more detailed, thought-out long-form piece on Deep (now that they’re operational) and the broader habitat landscape. * Updates from ASC meetings. * Brendon and Babe heading to DEMA this year.

The provided text details the history and legacy of Sublimnos, Canada’s first freshwater underwater habitat launched in 1969 by explorer Joseph B. MacInnis. Situated in Lake Huron, this pioneering research station allowed scientists to live and work beneath the surface to study aquatic ecosystems and test the limits of human productivity underwater. The structure utilized a moon pool entry and sat at a depth of roughly thirty feet, providing a stable base for observing fish behavior and lakebed biology. Though modest in size, the project proved that saturation diving techniques were effective for long-term scientific observation in freshwater environments. The success of Sublimnos influenced future undersea exploration and remains a significant milestone in maritime history alongside programs like SEALAB. Today, it is remembered as a foundational experiment that paved the way for modern underwater laboratories and deep-sea research.

In this episode, we explore what it really takes—legally—to place a manned underwater habitat beneath the surface. From private lakes and flooded quarries to the open ocean, we discuss the permits, environmental regulations, property rights, and safety requirements that come into play before anyone can build an underwater home or research station. Whether you're interested in underwater exploration, marine engineering, or futuristic living, understanding the legal framework is just as important as the engineering itself.
We'll cover the differences between building on private property versus public waters, the role of agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and how international maritime law governs structures in the ocean. If you've ever wondered what it would take to make an underwater habitat a reality, this episode provides a concise introduction to the legal side of life beneath the waves.

This source describes the ambitious mission of DEEP Engineered to establish permanent underwater habitats that allow humans to live and work on the sea floor. By placing research bases at depths up to 200 meters, the organization aims to illuminate a "blind spot" in oceanography that is currently too deep for standard scuba diving but too shallow for expensive submersibles. These specialized structures function as "time machines" because they grant scientists the ability to conduct continuous, long-term observations rather than relying on brief, insufficient visits. Living deep underwater provides unprecedented access to critical ecosystems that regulate the Earth's climate and produce significant portions of our oxygen. Ultimately, the project seeks to replace robotic snapshots with a permanent human presence to better understand the vast majority of life on our planet. This shift from short excursions to long-term residency promises to accelerate scientific discovery and unlock the secrets of the world's most vital marine zones.

In this episode of Colonize the Ocean, Brendon Traxler breaks down one of the most important technical and philosophical decisions in underwater habitat design: ambient pressure vs one atmosphere habitats.
Most of the industry has leaned ambient pressure for decades — especially for scientific research. But as we move beyond research stations toward underwater tourism, Airbnbs, data centers, and actual homes, the advantages of one atmosphere habitats become impossible to ignore.
Brendon explains:
• How pressure increases every 33 feet and why that forces mixed-gas breathing and long decompression in ambient habitats
• Why ambient pressure works so well for scientific divers who need to come and go freely
• The hidden downsides: helium speech, nitrogen narcosis, weeks of decompression after saturation, and why it’s terrible for regular human life
• How one atmosphere habitats maintain surface pressure no matter how deep you go — no decompression, normal air, normal conversations
• The access challenge for 1 ATM habitats and why hybrid designs (with decompression wings) could solve it
• Why ASC is firmly in the one atmosphere camp — because of the “Grandma Rule”: if grandma can’t visit comfortably, it’s not good enough
This isn’t just an engineering debate. It’s about who gets to live in the ocean.

🌊 In this June 15, 2026 episode of Colonize the Ocean, host Brendan Shraxler explores one of the most fascinating — and rarely discussed — benefits of underwater habitats: their potential to give humanity more eyes on the mysterious depths of our own planet.
While we often talk about underwater Airbnbs, data centers, hotels, and private residences, Brendan highlights another powerful angle: the more habitats we build, the more we can monitor what’s really happening in the ocean. With governments releasing increasing amounts of UAP/UFO footage and the ocean repeatedly appearing at the center of these discussions, could underwater outposts become valuable observation platforms?
Drawing inspiration from the classic film The Abyss, Brendan reflects on the deep ocean as a truly alien environment — crushing pressure, freezing temperatures, and creatures that already seem otherworldly (looking at you, octopus). Even if we never encounter interdimensional or extraterrestrial beings, the potential to discover entirely new forms of life that feel genuinely “alien” is very real.
This episode dives into how increased underwater presence could advance science, spark public interest, and potentially open new doors for funding and collaboration from groups fascinated by the unknown.
Brendan also gives a heartfelt shoutout to the ASC community — you are part of this. Every view, like, share, comment, and subscription helps push ocean colonization forward.

🌊 The 30-Year Journey of Atlantis Sea Colony | From High School Dream to Real Underwater Habitats | Colonize the Ocean Podcast
In this special history episode, Brendan shares the full origin story of Atlantis Sea Colony (ASC), going all the way back to the mid-1990s. As a high school kid in landlocked Illinois who grew up drawing scuba divers and dreaming of the ocean, everything changed after watching SeaQuest DSV and The Abyss. What began as a powerful “God moment” vision and hand-drawn designs in a high school drafting class has grown into a 30+ year mission to build practical, modular, one-atmosphere manned underwater habitats.
Brendan breaks down how the original grand sci-fi domed underwater city concept evolved over the decades — first into spheres, then into smaller, more realistic and buildable modular platforms after realizing the original dream was simply too expensive to start with. He talks about early research (pre-internet library hunts), reaching out to experts once the internet arrived, a pivotal meeting with a Houston engineering firm that gave him a real target price and goal, years of investor conversations, Patreon support for operations, and the exciting recent breakthrough: a friendly location has now been secured for the very first habitat.
With a real site in sight, the focus is shifting to regulations, detailed planning, and smart fundraising so ASC can finally move from vision to reality — whether for personal use, business, research, or data centers.
If you’ve ever been inspired by underwater living or want to help turn this long-term dream into something real, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Colonize The Ocean, we’re riding the Next Wave — the explosive momentum of scaling, autonomy, and what’s actually coming in 2026–2027 as ocean colonization shifts from bold concepts to steel-in-the-water reality. We kick things off with Oceanix Busan, where the world’s first prototype sustainable floating neighborhood is now under full construction in South Korea’s Busan Harbor: hexagonal platforms designed for up to 12,000 residents, powered entirely by solar, wind, aquaponics, and desalination, hurricane-proof to Category 5, and modular enough to expand or even sail away — the living proof that coastal cities can adapt to rising seas without devouring more land. Then we dive into the Próspera-area expansions on Roatán, Honduras, where new residential towers are racing toward November 2026 completion, social-housing calls are pulling in $300-a-month units to grow the resident base, and ArkPad’s second Reef Resort is targeting construction before the end of Q2 2026 — modular floating platforms that let everyday owners buy ocean real estate, run eco-resorts, and farm aquaculture right next to the ZEDE’s low-tax, entrepreneur-first governance model. Finally, we spotlight the policy wins cracking open the future: South Korea’s full government and UN-Habitat backing for Oceanix proving nation-states now see floating infrastructure as serious climate infrastructure, plus the Seasteading Institute’s active 2026 push for a dedicated maritime flag and classification society — the legal “hack” that could shield floating communities from heavy-handed control while delivering real autonomy on the high seas. This isn’t theory anymore; 2026–2027 is when modular scaling meets governance breakthroughs and the ocean frontier finally goes mainstream — tune in to see exactly how close we are to living at sea. 🌊

Imagine starting your day with coffee on a sunlit floating deck, then stepping through a dry-transfer tunnel for an afternoon meeting inside a cool, silent underwater pod thirty feet below the waves. That’s not sci-fi — it’s the near-future reality of hybrid ocean colonies, where Atlantis Sea Colony’s modular surface habitats and SeaPods’ pressure-resistant underwater buoyancy chambers finally connect. These two technologies were never meant to compete; they were always designed to complete each other. The floating decks give you open sky, solar power, recreation space, and easy expansion, while the submerged chambers deliver stable temperatures, storm-proof shelter, and free ocean cooling for everything from life support to high-density data centers that slash energy use by up to ninety percent.
What makes this hybrid model the logical next step is the shared engineering already in place: proven pressure management, redundant life-support systems, and simple submersible docks or walk-through tunnels that let residents move between layers without ever getting wet. One integrated colony can now grow in three dimensions instead of two, delivering unmatched resilience, sustainability, and usable ocean real estate. With climate pressures and exploding demand for compute power pushing us seaward faster than ever, the first true hybrid ocean settlement isn’t a distant dream — the building blocks already exist. SeaPods as the underwater basement, ASC as the vibrant surface neighborhood, connected and ready to scale. The ocean’s next chapter is being written right now, and it’s going to be both above and below the surface. Stay tuned — we’re not just imagining it; we’re engineering it.

In this short solo episode of Colonize the Ocean, I break down ArkPad — the marine-tech company founded by aerospace engineer Mitchell Suchner that’s turning the dream of ocean living into reality right now in the Philippines. Their ArkPad-C is a proven 100-square-meter floating platform that’s already survived two major hurricanes near Boracay. It features shallow-draft design, rainwater collection, off-grid solar, and modular connectivity for building entire communities.
The big news? ArkPad’s Samal Reef Resort opened in September 2025 as the world’s first operational seasteading resort — a floating eco-resort, fish & lobster farm, and underwater aquarium all in one. Co-owners are already receiving quarterly revenue payouts (first ones hit in January 2026), and the upgraded ArkPad-D platforms are launching later this year to handle open-ocean waves up to 7 meters. This isn’t theory — it’s profitable, storm-proof ocean colonization happening today.
Check out arkpad.co to see the platforms, Reef Resort stays, or co-ownership opportunities. The ocean is open for business — and ArkPad just built the first dock.

The Great Barrier Reef Foundation is implementing innovative restoration techniques to combat the devastating effects of rising ocean temperatures and frequent coral bleaching. To accelerate natural recovery, researchers utilize Coral IVF by collecting reproductive cells during spawning events to rear larvae in protected floating nurseries. Additionally, the organization utilizes Coralclips to efficiently attach broken coral fragments back onto the reef, achieving a high survival rate without using chemicals. These efforts focus on breeding heat-tolerant species to ensure the ecosystem can endure future climate stressors. By humanely intervening in the reproductive cycle, scientists have successfully established self-sustaining coral populations that are now reaching maturity and spawning independently. Together, these strategies aim to buy time for the reef while global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions continue.

In this raw and honest new episode of Colonize the Ocean, host Brendon Traxler breaks down the current state of the underwater habitat movement and the three very different groups shaping it right now.
First, the Optimists — the ones who believe underwater living is ready now. This includes forward-thinking companies like DEEP and Atlantis Sea Colony (ASC), where we’re actively building and pushing the vision forward.
Then there are the Realists — people who agree that ocean colonization is coming, but feel we’re still 10–20 years out and that we need to pace ourselves.
And finally, the Problematic — individuals with genuinely good intentions and solid designs, but who bring God complexes, toxic attitudes, public negativity, and even legal threats that end up hurting the entire industry instead of helping it.
Brendon’s message is simple: there’s a whole damn ocean out there. Plenty of water, plenty of space, and more than enough room for every idea and every team to succeed. The only way we actually get underwater habitats built is if we stop the infighting, drop the drama, and start lifting each other up.
He doesn’t hold back — he directly calls out three specific people in the community who have attacked ASC, spread negativity, and even threatened lawsuits. It’s time for all of us to do better.

In this episode of Colonize The Ocean, titled "Nanotech Magic: How Advanced Membranes Make Ocean Colonies Self-Sufficient," we explore the thin line between science fiction and the future of maritime living. The narrative begins by challenging the listener to imagine a life fully submerged or floating, entirely disconnected from mainland supply chains—no water deliveries and no fresh air tanks. This autonomy is made possible through the revolutionary integration of nanotech filtration and closed-loop systems, which transform isolated ocean habitats into self-sustaining ecosystems where waste is perpetually reimagined as a resource.
The Mechanics of Self-SufficiencyA Blue Frontier Vision
The core of this technological leap lies in the transition from bulky, energy-hungry traditional filters to atomic-precision membranes. By utilizing materials like graphene oxide and nanofiber sheets, these systems can recycle sweat, humidity, and wastewater into pristine drinking water with unprecedented speed and minimal power. The episode highlights how these breakthroughs—inspired by NASA’s work on the International Space Station—are being adapted for the high-pressure, high-salinity environments of the deep sea. Key technical milestones discussed include:
A Blue Frontier Vision
As the summary moves into real-world applications, it draws parallels between the extreme conditions of space and the "inner space" of our oceans. With current systems already achieving over 90% water recovery, the shift toward near-100% closed loops is what will finally permit the establishment of permanent underwater cities. The episode concludes with a forward-looking call to action, inviting the audience to consider a future where living off-grid under the sea isn't just a dream, but a practical reality driven by the invisible power of nanotechnology.

Underwater habitats are specialized, pressurized structures that allow researchers and divers to reside on the seafloor for extended durations without the need for frequent decompression. Developed initially in the 1960s through pioneering projects like Jacques Cousteau’s Conshelf and the U.S. Navy’s SEALAB, these facilities utilize saturation diving to facilitate continuous marine study and military training. Modern installations, such as the Aquarius Reef Base, serve as critical laboratories for coral restoration, ocean acidification research, and NASA spaceflight analogs. Technical advancements in AI-driven monitoring, self-healing materials, and renewable energy are currently expanding the feasibility of these isolated outposts. Beyond science, the concept has influenced commercial tourism and remains a powerful fixture in cultural media, symbolizing both the mystery and the peril of the deep sea. Overall, these structures bridge the gap between human physiology and the hostile aquatic environment to foster sustainable ocean management.#UnderwaterHabitat #SaturationDiving #AquariusReefBase #SEALAB #Conshelf #OceanExploration #DeepSeaResearch #CoralRestoration #OceanAcidification #NASA analogs #MarineScience #AquaticResearch #UnderwaterLiving #SeafloorStation #SustainableOceans #OceanInnovation #AIinOceanography #RenewableOceanEnergy #SelfHealingMaterials #JacquesCousteau #DeepSeaMystery #AquaticFrontier #HumanUnderwater #OceanExplorers Join our Discordhttps://discord.gg/W7cy7Tg9http://atlantisseacolony.com/https://www.facebook.com/atlantisseacolony/
Imagine this: You're at 2,000 meters deep. A crack rips through your habitat's hull. Water starts flooding in... but the material just seals itself. No panic. No emergency patch. That's the power of self-healing smart polymers — and they're closer to reality than you think.
First up: the classic microcapsule approach. Tiny capsules embedded in the material burst on impact, releasing a healing agent that hardens fast — even triggered by seawater. It's already protecting ships from corrosion. Scale that to ocean pods or habitats? Game on. (IDTechEx 2025 projections say self-healing tech is heading toward billions in market value.)
Then there's the next-level stuff: dynamic bond polymers that re-link on their own, no capsules needed. Think red sea star-inspired polyurethanes that regenerate quickly in seawater (shoutout to recent phys.org coverage). Or these ultrafast piezo-ionic elastomers from 2024 Nature research — healing at 13 micrometers per minute underwater, hitting 94% efficiency at room temperature, and even pressure-sensitive for extra smart features. Before-and-after shots show scars vanishing in minutes. Mind-blowing.
And don't sleep on bio-tricks: bacteria-infused concrete where cracks wake dormant bugs that produce calcium carbonate to seal things up. Delft demos heal in weeks; marine-adapted versions are being tested in cold, wet oceans. Perfect for underwater foundations and structures — low-maintenance and tough.
Self-healing materials could be the breakthrough that makes deep-sea colonies safe, sustainable, and actually livable.

Welcome back to Colonize The Ocean, the short podcast exploring the technologies that will make manned underwater living a reality. I'm your host from Atlantis Sea Colony.
Today, we're diving into scaled Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion, or OTEC—a renewable powerhouse that taps the vast temperature difference between warm tropical surface waters and the frigid depths below 800 meters or more. In closed-cycle systems, warm seawater evaporates a working fluid like ammonia to drive turbines for steady electricity, while cold deep water condenses it to loop endlessly. Scaled versions mean pushing beyond small pilots to commercial plants delivering megawatts—reliable, 24/7 baseload power without the intermittency of solar or wind.
For underwater habitats, this is transformative. It delivers uninterrupted electricity right on site for life support, lighting, pumps, communications, and everything a sealed colony needs—no risky fuel deliveries or noisy diesel backups. Recent studies and developments highlight how OTEC's cold deep water enables seawater air conditioning, slashing energy demands for cooling in warm ocean environments. Open-cycle variants even produce fresh desalinated water as a byproduct—essential for drinking, sanitation, and hydroponic food growth in isolated habitats.
Beyond basics, scaled OTEC brings nutrient-rich deep seawater to the surface through artificial upwelling, supercharging aquaculture. Imagine growing algae, shellfish, fish like salmon or prawns directly around or integrated with the habitat structure—boosting self-sufficiency and turning the platform into an artificial reef that enhances local marine life. Multi-use platforms could combine power generation with these extras, even serving as foundations for expanded seasteads or research outposts in international waters.
We're seeing real momentum: pilots in Hawaii, Japan, and new floating designs in the Canary Islands are advancing, with commercial-scale modules targeted for deployment. Market projections show the OTEC sector growing rapidly through 2035, driven by island nations and tropical regions seeking clean, constant energy. In a warming world, the thermal gradient often strengthens, making OTEC more viable over time.
Scaled OTEC isn't just energy—it's core infrastructure for ocean colonization: reliable power, fresh water, efficient cooling, and integrated food production, all drawn from the sea itself. This could light the path to permanent human presence beneath the waves.

Japan has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully extracting mineral-rich mud from the deep ocean floor near Minamitorishima. This operation, conducted at a depth of 6,000 meters, represents a significant leap in the global competition to secure rare earth elements essential for modern electronics and defense technology. By developing these domestic resources, Japan aims to reduce its economic dependence on China, which currently controls the majority of the world's supply. While the United States also promotes seabed mining to bolster resource security, the practice remains controversial due to its environmental and technical complexities. This successful test signifies a move toward commercial autonomy in a sector that has long been dominated by a single global power. Though the process is expensive and difficult, it offers a potential path to technological independence for Japan and its international partners.

Recent research from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory suggests that tidal turbines pose a much lower risk to marine ecosystems than previously anticipated by environmental critics. Using advanced underwater surveillance and AI detection, scientists observed that harbor seals, fish, and seabirds possess the natural intelligence and physical agility to avoid rotating blades. The study recorded a 98 percent safety rate for fish and found that mammals like seals actively perform evasive maneuvers to bypass the machinery. These findings are significant because they may resolve the regulatory deadlock that has hindered the growth of the renewable tidal energy industry. While the study utilized a small-scale model, it provides crucial data that could pave the way for more reliable, lunar-driven power sources.

Welcome back to Colonize The Ocean, the podcast exploring the bold frontier of living and working beneath the waves. I'm your host, and today in our quick 5-minute dive, we're talking about something absolutely essential for any serious underwater habitat: Underwater Acoustic Communications and Data Networks. Specifically, how acoustic modems are making reliable links from the deep-sea habitat floor all the way to the surface, powering telemetry, control, and even limited video transmission despite water's toughest challenges.
Imagine you're inside a subsea colony, monitoring life support systems, environmental sensors, or controlling a nearby ROV. You can't just run cables everywhere — they're expensive, vulnerable, and a hassle to maintain. That's where acoustic modems come in. These clever devices convert digital data into sound waves that travel through water, then back into data at the other end. Sound propagates far better in water than radio or light does over long distances.
But water isn't an easy medium.

This research examines the psychological impact of saturation diving, proposing an "Underview Effect" similar to the cognitive shifts experienced by astronauts in space. By interviewing aquanauts who lived in undersea habitats, the authors identified themes of awe, tranquility, and flow that arise from extended immersion in a high-pressure environment. Participants reported a heightened sense of planetary fragility and a deep interconnectedness with marine ecosystems, often viewing the ocean as a complex, living "home base" rather than a foreign workspace. While the experience involves significant physical hardship and sensory changes, it frequently results in a long-lasting environmental stewardship and a transformed scientific perspective. Ultimately, the study suggests that this profound submerged experience can reshape human relationships with the natural world and inspire pro-environmental behaviors.

Brendon recaps his time at Underwater Intervention 2025 this past week.
The source details the successful demonstration of the Ocean Space Habitat®, a portable, inflatable structure allowing divers to stay overnight underwater during a May 2023 test conducted within the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 facility. Co-invented by Michael Lombardi and Dr. Winslow Burleson, the habitat provides a relatively dry, protected space for researchers to rest and work. This technology offers a paradigm shift by leveraging technical diving methods to create an inexpensive and lightweight alternative, moving away from the massive infrastructure and high operational costs associated with traditional saturation diving and fixed habitats. By pairing the habitat with advanced life support, researchers can extend missions from a few hours to multiple days, enabling more thorough study akin to an underwater backpacking excursion. During the demonstration, the team successfully collected and processed genomic samples, confirming the system’s utility as a mobile science station. Ultimately, this capability is intended to mobilize trained "Aquanauts" to access complex environments requiring dexterous human manipulation that robots cannot provide.
Coming off Thanksgiving here in the United States, Brendon wants to express his gratitude over the years for the followers, Patreon members, and Adam and Babe.

I just went and saw the movie "Last Breath" and not only was it a really good movie, but it got me thinking more about safety and where underwater habitats fit in.
An article by DEEP explores the history of underwater habitats, highlighting key milestones and their impact on current underwater living technology. It begins with early projects like Glaucus, Conshelf, and Sealab, which demonstrated the feasibility and utility of underwater living. Cousteau's Conshelf missions showed it could be done with style, while the U.S. Navy's Sealab pushed the limits of depth, showing risks involved in subsea exploration. The piece then shifts to later habitats like La Chalupa and Aquarius, which focused more on marine research and NASA training. These historical advancements ultimately inform DEEP's current work to develop more autonomous and comfortable underwater habitats for scientific research. The text concludes by suggesting this new technology will vastly cut down on scientists' time, providing them more opportunity for research.

In this week's short Brendon is excited to announce a summer project involving the creation of an AI server, similar to a ChatGPT box, potentially with image generation capabilities. This AI server will be submerged underwater as part of a demonstration for underwater data centers and habitats. The goal is to have a tangible example of their work to attract interest and investment, as previous attempts to secure funding for a full-scale underwater habitat have been unsuccessful. The project will be documented and shared on social media.

In this podcast episode, Brendon discusses communication methods for underwater habitats and data centers. The main options include using fiber optic cables from land or umbilical cables to the surface for satellite uplink, with Starlink offering improved speeds. Current wireless underwater communication technology is limited and slow. Redundancy, combining land cables and satellite links, is crucial for reliability. Brendon emphasizes the need for technological advancements in underwater wireless communication and poses a question about audience preferences for habitat communication setups.

Brendon discusses the power requirements for underwater habitats and data centers, emphasizing the need for renewable and sustainable energy sources. He explore options like solar panels, wind power, tidal/wave energy, and geothermal solutions. The hosts suggest that a combination of these approaches, along with battery storage, is likely the best way to power future underwater facilities as they move further offshore and become more self-sufficient The speaker discuss the challenges of powering an underwater habitat in the middle of the ocean. He note that companies may try to capitalize on the opportunity, but emphasize the importance of finding efficient and sustainable solutions. Brendon then pose several options, such as using geothermal platforms, underwater turbines, or biomass reactors, and invite the listener to consider which approach they would choose to power their own underwater habitat.

What is an aquanaut?
"An aquanaut is any person who remains underwater, breathing at the ambient pressure for long enough for the concentration of the inert components of the breathing gas dissolved in the body tissues to reach equilibrium, in a state known as saturation. Usually this is done in an underwater habitat on the seafloor for a period equal to or greater than 24 continuous hours without returning to the surface.
