"An aquanaut is an individual who lives and works in a pressurized underwater habitat for an extended period, typically 24 hours or more, without returning to the surface."
But what does that mean in a future where more and more people may be living and working underwater?With the recent news of Jules Undersea Lodge going under new management, what does the future for "becoming an aquanaut" look like?
