Portable Inflatable Habitats | some context from 2024
In June–July 1964, Ed Link – businessman, inventor, philanthropist – conducted his second Man-in-the-Sea experiment in the Berry Islands (a chain in the Bahamas) with Robert Sténuit and Jon Lindbergh, one of the sons of Charles Lindbergh.

Back to Basics – Understanding Why We Do Not have Big Permanent Underwater Habitats Today
Given my own recent activity in the field of undersea habitation, I’ve received numerous inquiries as to my thoughts on permanent undersea stations, so have taken some time to summarize here. My perspective is a bit cynical, though comes from having developed, operated, and generated intellectual property behind our own habitat technology, while making a…
Read MoreAncient Apocolypse | a Review
Wow…that’s what I have to say after my binge watch of the very recently released Netflix series ‘Ancient Apocalypse’ with Presenter Graham Hancock. While controversial, Hancock is among the few that are very vocal and prolific in presenting “alternative” theories surrounding ancient civilizations.

Read MoreAncient Alien Ancestors | a Review
It’s been some time since I’ve indulged in night time reading, so I just recently picked up the second book in the series by Will Hart, Ancient Alien Ancestors. This is the follow up to his the Genesis Race which I reviewed back in 2011, and the prequel to a new title to be released…
Read Morethe bed & breakfast, or the bivy
Underwater living… it’s perhaps the start of the lineage of work that many of us have embarked upon, and still remains a vision for the future. “Why?” one might ask… While the Atlantean dreamscape painted of a life beneath the waves of some utopian tropical paradise flirts with the outskirts of fantasy, the practical side…
