    This is great. I love that he had an algae coil to help produce more oxygen.

    " Funded by Australian Geographic magazine, Godson's effort was part science experiment, part educational outreach. As a marine biologist, he wanted to learn more about sustainable living in a closed ecological system.

    He fashioned the sub from mostly recycled scrap metal welded to keep water out. Inside, a "biocoil" full of water and algae helped to absorb carbon dioxide and supply oxygen [see "The BioSUB," below]. At the same time, he hoped to inspire future aquanauts by broadcasting live video to students worldwide.'

    Pretty cool and how cool would that be, to actually live in the ocean long term....I wonder if in our lifetime we'll get to see it!

    There are some cool places out there... I remember an old underwater hotel thread from a while ago. I will try to dig it up.
