  • Eventually, the goal is to make underwater living accessible to more people. The facility will include accommodation units, a training center, and a platform for mini-submarines.

A mysterious millionaire, who has chosen to remain anonymous, is funding the development of the first underwater human settlement off the coast of Curacao in the Caribbean. This ambitious project, known as the "Proteus" project, aims to create a habitat where scientists can live and conduct research for extended periods, studying marine life, climate change, and other oceanographic phenomena. The settlement will feature advanced technology including laboratories, living quarters, and an underwater garden, all designed to support long-term human habitation. The initiative not only seeks to push the boundaries of human endurance and technology but also to foster a deeper understanding of the ocean's mysteries, potentially aiding in the development of new technologies and insights into marine ecosystems.
