@Carl_Kruse there needs to be a healthy mix of privacy and visibility, the Muraka and/or Ithaa lean heavy on the visibility (also increases production costs).
The hardest part of living underwater may not be the pressure.
It may be the psychology.
Isolation, confinement, artificial day/night cycles, and limited personal space all matter.

That window isn't glass. 🐢 Habitat and submersible viewports are usually thick cast acrylic, engineered to the ASME PVHO-1 standard for pressure vessels that carry people. Tough, clear, and the best seat in the house. Follow ASC for more ocean tech. #OceanTech#Engineering#ASC
Sunday daydream: tomorrow's meeting, 40 ft down. 🐠 Answer emails while a school of fish drifts past your window. That's the habitat life ASC is building toward. Would you get any work done, or just stare outside all day? 👇 #UnderwaterLiving#Ocean#ASC
Ears first, depth second. 👂 Equalize at the surface, then every meter or so on the way down. The biggest pressure change happens in the first 10 m. Never force it: if it won't clear, rise a little and retry, or call the dive. Save this. #Scuba#DiveTips#ASC
Our first habitat is ambient-pressure, entered through a moon pool: an open hatch where air pressure holds the sea back. One-atmosphere living is the long-term goal. Follow the journey monthly: https://t.co/rcUwlLz2zn #MoonPool#OceanTech#BelowTheSurface
Sensors, systems, seafloor. Below the Surface is ASC's monthly look at the work behind living underwater. No hype, just progress from the build. Get it in your inbox: https://t.co/rcUwlLz2zn #OceanTech#MarineEngineering#BelowTheSurface
Count every fish. Then count again at dusk. 🐟 Reef scientists survey along tape lines, but surface-based dives keep cutting their time short. Living on site means more hours on the same reef. That's the science case for habitats. Follow ASC for more. #MarineScience#ASC
Space gets the headlines. The ocean is closer. Seawater is a natural heat sink, which makes the seafloor a serious frontier for data centers. ASC is building the habitats and know-how to work down there. Investors, let's talk: DM us. #DataCenters#BlueEconomy#ASC
@RoboticsForum while a cool idea, the cost and risk for something this large is not going to happen. people try and go too big and then get discouraged when people won't fund their vision
💙 The best part of #DEMAShow? The PEOPLE!
For 50 years, DEMA Show has brought our industry together to connect, collaborate & grow.
As we celebrate this milestone, we're celebrating YOU!
👇 Who are you excited to reconnect with or meet this week?
#DEMAShow2026
We're here! 👋 Day 2 at DEMA Show in New Orleans and loving the conversations with the dive community. Brendon and Babe are around the show floor. Spot them? Say hi, or DM us to meet up. Follow along for more from DEMA week. #DEMAShow#DEMAShow2026
Introducing Below the Surface, ASC's new monthly newsletter. Follow along as we build manned underwater habitats and the ocean tech behind them. Issue 1 is our first ever. Subscribe: https://t.co/rcUwlLz2zn #OceanTech#UnderwaterHabitat#BelowTheSurface
DEMA Show opens today, but the best dive upgrade isn't on the show floor. It's free: trim. 🤿 Flat body, calm hands, fins up. Less drag, less air, zero reef contact. Gear shopping this week? Tell us what's on your list. 👇 #Scuba#DEMAShow#Buoyancy#ASC
