/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I love this board.

I'm trying to make an underwater habitat at ambient pressure, off the coast of North Wales, and I could do with some help working out what materials I need to use.

Why?

The Habitat is something I wanted to do a month or so ago, but then lost interest in because I had no money. The idea is that I make something like Jule's underwater hotel- http://www.jul.com/ - and put it in coastal water off of Bangor- It's a university town with no real tourist industry, and I know my way around it. Bangor university has, AFAIK, a pretty decent marine biology department, and would probably have an interest in being able to be stationed under the water for long periods of time. I also have a personal interest, and would love to be able to stay down there a few weeks a year.

This was planned thanks to Mad Scientist, who got me interested in this in the first place. He knows about it, but isn't really involved, so it's just me at the moment.
