Cousteau Descendant Wants to Build Underwater Research Lab #Proteus

Add this to the list of Sci-Fi headlines being brought to life. Planning is underway for Proteus, a 12 person underwater research lab.

Via CNet:

Fabien Cousteau, grandson of the legendary explorer Jacques, has announced plans to change that. Cousteau has pitched a new installation called Proteus and it’s designed to become the “underwater version of the International Space Station.”

The 4,000-square-foot Proteus will be four times larger than any previous underwater station. Researchers will be able to live, eat, and work for weeks at a time. Inside will be research labs, sleeping quarters, a video production studio, and of course a moon pool to get in and out of the water easily. Interestingly, they’re also expecting to have a greenhouse, the first of its kind in an underwater station.
