>Not satisfied with destroying the environment on land so it's time to destroy the oceans too.

How, exactly?

>What possible benefit is there to moving underwater and creating even more disruptive noise to the wildlife?

None whatsoever, that's why we're taking care not to destroy anything. Doing things the way we do them today, with trawling and drilling awkwardly from the surface is what's damaging.

Going into the sea to live and work there is clean. Every habitat becomes an artifical reef, BENEFITING local wildlife. Submersibles are all zero emissions battery electric, internal combustion engines don't work underwater. By putting drilling rigs directly atop wells with all of the equipment necessary to handle leaks on-site instead of miles above you prevent BP style disasters and by putting humans onsite where minerals will be extracted you negate the need for messy current methods like bucket wheel extractors.

You have an essentially anti-human worldview and it's both unhealthy and unfair. We are not monsters, we are not poison, it is possible to go into a new area and live there in a way that does not destroy it and even benefits it. And in fact, the ocean necessitates many of the technologies that make that difference.
