>>Its like, why do you really want to go to the sea so much?

I go through periods of obsession with different fields. Some are lasting, like my love of robots, nuclear power and electric vehicles. Some come and go.

What seems to hold the strongest lasting interest for me is the whole concept of human beings living where it shouldn't be possible. Before my "undersea habitat" phase I went through a Lunar/Martian colony phase. And increasingly I've become interested in arctic science outposts for the same reasons.

Something about human beings building their own living spaces from the ground up, completely artificial and designed to meet their basic biological needs really fascinates me. It's empowering I guess, the notion that we can create comfortable spaces for human beings to live and work in regions that would otherwise be instantly lethal. It's a triumph of the human spirit, no?
