Historical Underwater Habitat Articles: The Complete Collection

^source

Long time fans will remember a period during which I published many articles detailing real life undersea laboratories built between 1963 and the present. There was a golden age in the 1970s when almost every country in the world had an underwater base of some kind.

It often shocks people to hear this, because while knowledge of manned spaceflight is commonplace, not nearly as much attention was paid to the "man in the sea" program which proceeded in parallel to the Gemini and Apollo programs. As a result, much of the public wrongly believes underwater bases exist only in science fiction.

Below you will find collected links to every article I published on this topic, each exhaustively covering an individual manned undersea station in great detail, including authentic photographs of the structures.

If you're like me, you'll find it irresistibly engrossing. I've spent a good decade or so collecting all of this information after all, since I first became interested in this topic back in 2008. It's a chapter of human history (and perhaps our future?) which merits more attention, and that begins with you.
