For
Underwater habitat designers and curious marine technologists
Worth noticing
The team built a scrubber prototype and measured underwater solar output at 5, 8 and 11 metres off Anilao, Philippines.

Field notes

The design divides the habitat into five modules joined by two junctions, each of which can be sealed from the others. Its systems account includes a seabed battery bank, stored oxygen and an onboard watermaker, with a support-vessel visit planned every two weeks. The team reports building a scrubber prototype and testing solar panels at several depths off Anilao; the site does not establish that the habitat itself was built.
