HUNUC (abbreviation for Habitat of the University of Natal Underwater Club) was South Africas first underwater laboratory. However, the facility was destroyed shortly after its positioning due to conceptual errors and bad weather conditions. Continue reading “HUNUC”
‘We need to maintain a human presence under the sea’ | New Scientist
Aquanaut Sylvia Earle, co-leader of the final mission to the world’s only undersea lab, says the oceans need protecting more than ever – don’t pull funding

Breathing Gas Processing: Overview
(Update 11.03.2023: structure renewed) This article is intended to define the concept for ensuring the appropriate habitat atmosphere to be used in the Calamar Park modules.
It is divided into the following sections:
- Guide Value for Electricity Costs
- Oxygen
- Oxygen Demand of a Human Being
- Oxygen Availability
- Carbon Dioxide
- Normoxic Gas Mixtures (Normox)
- Air Supply from the Surface
- Carbon Dioxide Scrubbing by Soda Lime
- Carbon Dioxide Scrubbing by Monoethanolamine (MEA)
- Carbon Dioxide Scrubbing by Sea Water
- Photosynthesis
- Water-Air Membrane
- Oxygen by Electrolysis
Our extensive analysis and proposals are part of the design manual.
Vent Base Alpha
In 2016 deep sea technology developer Dr. Phil Nuytten had a TEDx speech about his vision of an underwater habitat called Vent Base Alpha. It would generate the necessary energy from the geothermal vent next to its location and would consist of a 1bar environment. (Video length 19:08 min.)
Underwater Navigation
The danger of excursion divers getting lost have always been a major concern in underwater habitats. According to their webpage the Dive Tracker consists of a sender and a tracker. From a distance of up to 4000ft (?1300m) divers can easily track the direction of the sender’s signal and return to their safe location. Costs: from 1200USD per set. (Homepage Dive Tracker).
Bioversal Fire Extinguishers
The kind of fire extinguishers for an underwater habitat is an important issue. It should be effective, but must not contaminate the entire atmosphere. A considerable solution might be the Bioversal technology represented by Gröschl Brandschutz GmbH (former Bioversal Umwelttechnik und Handels GmbH) in Austria.

Leben und Arbeiten im Meer
(For English please scroll down) Zur Erinnerung: Ich hatte mich mit Dr. Jim Miller und Ian Koblick auf eine Übersetzung ihres Buches ‘Living and Working in the Sea’ (‘Leben und Arbeiten im Meer‘) ins Deutsche und insbesondere vom anglo-amerikanischen ins metrische Maßsystem geeinigt. Die Übersetzung und erste Durchsicht ist abgeschlossen und alle notwendigen Kontakte geknüpft. Der ursprüngliche Plan, die Veröffentlichung über Crowdfunding zu finanzieren, hat jedoch einen Dämpfer erhalten, weil alle Crowdfunding-Plattformen Projekte aus dem Land, in dem ich seit langer Zeit lebe, nicht akzeptiert. Ich brauche da also eine andere Lösung. Continue reading “Leben und Arbeiten im Meer”
