underseacolony.com : A Real Undersea Colony

I agree with John:

What's the point to colonize the ocean floor? If the thing is to
recover resources we could do it living in the land or even in
floating islands in the surface of the oceans. I don't see the point
to live bellow a whole sea, just for fun.

Going to space is different. In the asteroid belt there are
resources enough to support a societies with a thrillion human
beings, and a standar of living that would make today look like the
stone age. Going to space is to take a new step into the future.

Conquesting space is the real challenge, I believe. Living on top of
the gravity well, managing all the resources of the Solar System
that are several order of magnitude greather than the ones of earth!

And that's why we follow O'Neill
