The Atlantica Expeditions

The first Atlantica Expedition will begin on August 2nd, 2010. Three Aquanauts – Dennis Chamberland, Claudia Chamberland and Terrence Tysall, will submerge in the Leviathan Habitat and set a new world’s record for uninterrupted stay beneath the surface shattering the previous record of 89 days set by Aquanaut Rick Presley. Visiting in five day shifts, 24 other aquanauts will rotate through the Leviathan. Scientists, teachers, journalists, entrepreneurs, and Aquanauts (including Rick Presley himself, the previous record holder) will fill out the roster. Then in 2013, the Challenger Station habitat – the largest manned undersea habitat ever built, will be launched off the Florida coast and establish the first permanent undersea human colony. These efforts do not represent an underwater hotel, an outpost or a way-station, or a laboratory. They will establish a human community: The first humans who will relocate there and stay with no intention of ever calling dry land our home again. They represent the first generation of a people who will live out their lives beneath the sea. And they are ready.
