British company Deep is testing the world's first underwater home, with the goal of creating a permanent underwater habitat for humans. This project not only serves scientific research but also opens up promising opportunities for underwater tourism.

Ever since humans began exploring the ocean, the deep sea has always been a mysterious and challenging world. Throughout the past decades, underwater expeditions have unleashed wonders about marine life, geology, and the undiscovered secrets of the ocean. However, one of the most important breakthroughs today is not the search for new creatures, but the creation of an entirely new habitat – an underwater housing complex for humans.

The UK-based company Deep is conducting testing and developing an ambitious project – the world's first underwater residence. Their goal is not only to create permanent habitats for people under the sea, but also to open up opportunities for scientific research, ocean exploration, and underwater life experiences for wealthy travelers. This is a revolution in the way we approach and explore the ocean, and if successful, this project could completely change the future of deep-sea exploration.

Deep's underwater house is not just a temporary shelter but a real "floating house" under the ocean. According to information from the company, the compartments of this housing complex will be fully equipped with the necessary amenities for life under the sea, including bedrooms, community areas, bathrooms, kitchens, and even entertainment areas. All of these chambers are constructed of a special steel, capable of withstanding extremely high pressures under depths of up to 200 meters.

Each compartment can accommodate up to 6 people, and the inhabitants in it will have the ability to live in an underwater environment for long periods of time, even if the surrounding area is deep and secluded waters. These compartments can be combined into an underwater research station, serving scientists and explorers on long-term missions under the sea.

Although the concept of underwater housing has been in the human imagination for a long time, Deep's project is gradually making it a reality. The company is currently conducting trials at its facility in Gloucestershire, near the Welsh border. These tests include testing the pressure resistance of materials, as well as human adaptation to aquatic habitats.

Interestingly, these trials have achieved quite promising results. The current test chambers have basic amenities such as beds, kitchens and toilets, with the aim of catering to a group of people who live for 28 days underwater. However, according to Deep's chief executive, Mike Shackleford, the company's long-term goal is much bigger. They hope to be able to sustain underwater communities for a long time, allowing underwater research to be conducted continuously and long-term.

When living under the sea for a long time, humans will face a number of challenges not only scientifically but also psychologically. Explorers and deep divers often have to use a special mixture of gases, including helium and oxygen, to avoid nitrogen sickness. This also applies to people who live in the chambers of the Deep. After a long time in the water, the inert gases that the inhabitants inhale will blend into the tissues of the body, balancing the pressure of the depths where they live. This is the principle of saturation, and it allows humans to live on the seafloor for days, weeks, or even months without having to undergo decompression like regular divers.

However, one of the biggest problems facing scientists is the psychophysiological impact of living in a narrow space on the seabed. Studies have shown that the lack of sunlight and stress in a tight environment can cause sleep disturbances, anxiety and other psychological problems. This can be a big challenge for the people who live in this underwater block, especially if they have to stay for long periods of time.

One of the most important factors for the construction and maintenance of Deep's underwater housing is safety. Living underwater not only requires protecting humans from environmental factors such as cold temperatures, high pressure, but also ensuring that the structure of the chambers can withstand the impact of strong sea waves, wildlife, and other undesirable factors. Deep is working closely with Det Norske Veritas (DNV), an international testing organization, to ensure that all safety standards will be adhered to throughout the testing and development process.

In addition, moving these compartments out into the ocean will also bring a new set of problems, such as extreme weather, disturbances from marine animals, and dangers from ships. These are the factors that Deep's team is researching and preparing to deal with to ensure that the underwater house will be able to operate efficiently and safely in the natural marine environment.

Deep's project is not only a scientific experiment, but also a promise of a future where humans can live permanently under the sea, expanding the possibilities of ocean exploration and research. If the project is successful, not only researchers but also travel enthusiasts will be able to experience life under the sea, even living in an underwater house as a long-term vacation.

Besides the potential for research, living underwater can also usher in a new era in tourism and sustainable development. As land-based resources become increasingly scarce, building aquatic communities can be an innovative solution to solve problems in living space, protect nature, and develop a sustainable life.

Although there are many challenges ahead, Deep's underwater housing project is certainly a bold step towards making dreams of life in the sea a reality.
