Hence why I came here. I found his discussion of undersea colonies a few weeks back quite enlightening. It also got me to watch SeaQuest on Netfix. That show has not aged well at all.

My concern is how you actually attach tunnels between two modules. Seems easy until you really start to try to figure out how it would work in practice. You'd need flexible attachment rings at either end and possible some method of extending/contracting the tunnel's length.

I guess you could attach them while neutrally buoyant so they can be moved around easily, then once the tunnel is connected to both pods you add weight until they are firmly weighted down...?

This shit is a lot more complicated than it initially seems. We'll have the same problems building a base on Mars, too, but without the benefit of being able to make modules weightless as needed via buoyancy control.
