World's 1st Self-Sustaining Underwater Habitat

Lloyd Godson from Australia spent almost two weeks in a cabin under a lake. Food and drink were brought by divers. Godson was supposed to ride a bike to generate electricity and use algae to produce oxygen. After 12 days in world’s 1st self-sustaining underwater cabin, the 29-year-old adventurer became also the winner of a $40,000 competition organized by Australian Geographic magazine.

Breathing air provided by algae soaked in his own urine, "aquanaut" Lloyd Godson spent 12 days living in a yellow steel capsule submerged in a flooded gravel pit. The 29-year-old's claustrophobic ordeal was intended to shed light on the practical and psychological challenges of living in an alien environment. (telegraph)

Now expand this project & add viewports & Rover delievery bot subs to shuttle supplies into Module then one cay stay 80 days, 50 days?? BUT must don scuba swim gear for trips outside modules. Can this be expanded. Oxygen from algae sounds intriguing. Pump waste from shore for continual flow aside from occupants within. Nice. Next Test site: Bahamas Jamaica Guadelope Off Cancun Mexico. Cabo San Lucas Mex Baja Belize USVI BVI Med Sea Great Barrier Reef Aus. Palau Islands, Pacific. Fiji Is.
