RE: Live stream from 2000m depth - now -
I was surprised at how little silting there was.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Only those with air spaces that can't equalize.  Big Grin. You'd use a metric asston of breathing gas - if the oxygen toxicity didn't kill you long before that.

I think there's something wrong with your second figure - 2000 meters is approximately 200 atmospheres pressure (the increase is 1 atmosphere per ten meters).  Yes, it over 400,000/lb/ft2 which is ~3000psi (14.7 psi at 1/atm * 200).  I think you mixed units there.

I think you're right. The internet has lied to me yet again. Bastards.

I don't think my splattered remains would care whether it was by 200atm or 400atm though.

I think it's safe to say that there are numerous challenges for survival in that environment. Tongue

What would be a harsher environment to survive (logistically). The bottom of the ocean or mars?

What sort of structure would you need to build to house eg: 10 scientists on the ocean floor in comfort? eg: tv, internet, etc? lol.
