I like to record vids of the ocean as inspiration for my music. Here is a song inspired by recent Big Sur wave action. Hope you like it, either way thanks for watching/listening.

Our Oceans on Netflix
If you have Netflix, this series is worth watching. The series covers the globe following the ocean currents. Amazing cinematography, and it featured animals I never knew existed. https://www.netflix.com/title/81139969

Why are we not burying habitats on ocean floors for living there?
Hey guys, so I was looking at the whole permanent settlement in the oceans debate and it occurred to me that all suggestions involve tin cans installed on the seabed. Obviously, the biggest deterrent to such an approach is that such structures would be subject to massive pressures, making them unfeasible.
But, what if they were buried under the seabed like those survival bunkers instead with the important stuff sticking out like in this picture? Won't that make the water pressure largely irrelevant?
My apologies in advance if its a stupid af question or if it has been repeated on here.
Thanks.
