Futuristic Ocean Habitat Aims to House Humans by 2030

We visited DEEP’s campus near Bristol, UK – the company on a mission to get people to live under water, for months at a time, by the end of this decade.

We submerged underwater to see where professionals working on DEEP’s habitats will perform their technical dive training, and were shown around a full-size replica of the company’s first habitat, Sentinel, which, once completed, will be able to house humans up to 200 meters subsea.

If I’m going down there with Sydney Sweeney and Rihanna and Jessica Beal: for sure. Other fun, personable, but not as attractive people: maybe. Average looking, anxious, and defensive people: definitely not. Lol

      The difference is we aren’t going anywhere as deep where the water pressure is too intense. This should be fine for regular ocean floor level where there are lights and beautiful sea creatures and corals.

    6:56 Ideally, yes. But we all know that the reality is going to be far more complicated. Realistically we’re talking at least 20-30 years before living underwater becomes affordable to *anyone* outside of the richest and wealthiest people in the world. And remember, before we can live underwater, we’ve gotta get there first. Submarines are expensive, and there’s not a lot of them out there that are designed for civilian use while being economical and affordable. We would need to essentially build large submarine buses to ferry people from the underwater habitats to onshore harbors and seaports, essentially creating a whole new public transit system that operates underwater, which carries its own set of expensive costs and challenges.

    Increasing submarine traffic to that level would require the maritime authorities would all have to get involved, and there would need to be safe and efficient procedures for evacuating the habitat if a ship or aircraft sinks from the water’s surface. Adding wing-in-ground-effect craft to the mix in the maritime world will only increase sea traffic and proportionately increase these safety risks even further.

    So yes, I support it. Yes, it could be cheaper than going to space. And yes, its theoretically achievable with the technology we have at this point, but it will probably be at least 2045 or 2050 before living underwater even comes close to becoming an affordable reality, and many people living today, unfortunately, may not live long enough to see it depending on how much time it takes for the immense costs of subsea technology to drop far enough down into the realm of scalability and affordability.

    Sounds like an insane waste of money… sitting in one spot under the ocean and spending huge amount of funds to do what underwater bots are already doing at much deeper waters. In space the astronauts move and are not stationary, but honestly most of their work is to babysit the International space station, not much reserch is needed from them, that why they have youtube channels to pass their time…

    You can barely house humans on the surface without having issues how is this something that is even feasible or possible? And we already know about their underwater cities that they already have and other locations to. We’re not dumb

  53. @andrewjohnson4021

    September 23, 2025 at 2:14 pm

    No there are people and beings that have already built underwater structures under lakes all over the place. You wouldn’t even know that they’re there. And most times you don’t even enter it through the lake you enter it from a side property on the shore that goes to the under lake basin. If I were somebody who was going to hide technology that didn’t want any one of you to find under the lake would be one of the best ideas. Most of your systems wouldn’t be able to scan far enough.
