This article from BOAT International discusses the burgeoning field of underwater habitats, focusing on two competing projects: Proteus, spearheaded by Fabien Cousteau, and Sentinel, developed by the UK-based DEEP. Both aim to create advanced underwater research stations to facilitate extended scientific study of the largely unexplored ocean depths. The article highlights the potential scientific breakthroughs these habitats could enable, emphasizing the significant knowledge gap in our understanding of the ocean and its vast biodiversity. It also acknowledges the considerable technological and financial challenges involved in constructing and operating such facilities. Finally, the article briefly explores the history of underwater habitats, showcasing previous projects and their contributions to ocean research.
