      Its is a good question, my thoughts were that people already were living underwater and I was right. Apparently there are three underwater places where people can live for extended periods. All are in the Florida Keys.
      Although there are a number of issues, the immense pressure, making oxygen, access to freshwater etc we have the technology available to overcome them. It would be fascinating to live like this for a short period, imagine the things you would see out of your window However I am not sure I could do it for too long, could you?
