>It might look a bit like a spaceship, but this small steel pod takes mankind one step closer to living at the bottom of the sea. Designed to operate at a depth of 50m (164ft), it consists of a living chamber, a dive centre and a foundational base. The habitat, named Vanguard, will allow up to four 'aquanauts' to live and work in the murky depths of the ocean. Living there will give researchers the opportunity to dive for hours at a time, carrying out studies that would be otherwise impossible. The main part of the pod, measuring 12 metres (40 feet) long by 3.7 metres (12 feet) wide, is where scientists would eat, sleep and work.

They're lucky that there is a toilet inside the habitat. I heard someone talking (probably on a Joe Rogan podcast) about how when they had to shit, they'd have to go outside to a diving bell which was just a spot to put their head in and breathe (you held your breath to get there from the habitat), pulling down your pants and just freely shit into the ocean. He was talking about how the fish would swarm him to eat his shit, and angel fish could get their mouth right in his butt crack. On his way back in the dark, his flashlight lit up the eye of a Goliath grouper, a fish that could have swallowed him whole if it felt like it.

Yep, I remember that and there is even video (not of the act but of a showing of what they would do without actually taking a dump). The fish learned that when someone went to that spot that they would take a shit and would go eat it.. not only that, you had to swim back through your own shit if it was not... well, you know what I mean.

That doesn't sound like a research facility in the 20th or 21st century, unless it was built and manned by Indians.
