You fuckers make me so proud sometimes.


To OP: The short answer is that the design challengers are greater, because an undersea habitat must withstand many atmospheres of pressure whereas a space habitat need only withstand one, from within.

But everything else about living undersea is easier. You're surrounded by a constant supply of both air and water, provided you have a source of electricity to extract the oxygen and desalinate the water. Food is also a non-issue as again, you're surrounded by it. A few exterior traps with lights to attract crustaceans, squid and fish are all that's necessary.

You also have normal Earth gravity, so no bone degradation issues and you don't have to worry about exposure to radiation or micrometeorites.

Also, you get to discover new forms of life constantly instead of never.
