underwater habitat
Beneath-the-surface shelter
An underwater habitat is a sealed structure on the ocean floor where people can live and work for extended periods.
These facilities maintain breathable air and normal pressure, allowing researchers or divers to remain submerged for days or weeks without returning to the surface.
Scientists spent two weeks in the underwater habitat studying coral reef ecosystems.
