How come we have an active base orbiting in earths lower atmosphere yet we still have yet to make something on par under the ocean?
I mean, wouldn't it be a hell of a lot easier to make a habitable base/observatory/whathaveyou underwater than in space?

Hang on, stay on /sci/, refresh the first 2 pages every hour or so while you can, and within a few days at most, you'll meet Mad Scientist. Then you can have this conversation with him. And he'll like you for liking underwater stuff, and you'll like him for knowing so much about underwater stuff.

Because otherwise you would have know Mad Scientist and you would have know that what he mostly does on /sci/ is advertise deep sea exploration and habitat, and I'm pretty sure you would have already had this conversation with him.

There are lots of active underwater habitats that are on-par with the ISS in terms of size and crew. They're just not as well known because drilling oil wells and performing deep sea research isn't as interesting to the public. Plus, they didn't cost $100 billion.

Touch your skin. Is it wet? No? WAKE UP, YOU'RE A DRY-LAND SPECIES, ASSFUCK. We're never going to "colonize the ocean" as we have square megamiles to live in, AS WE DO.
