Assuming temperature/food/oxygen and all that was not an issue, would you rather spend the rest of your life deep undersea, or on a different planet (no intelligent life, but life).

I've always dreamed of going undersea and checking out all kinds of exotic fish/animals, so I think I'd choose that, if I had to choose. If I ever hit the lottery, I might just do it. 8)

Like in Bioshock or a different kind of underwater building?

I think I'd choose to live on a different planet. Outer space intrigues me. Being deep under the ocean would make me feel claustrophobic; I don't know why, it just would.

You mean like being a mermaid? No protective dome at the bottom of the sea in which to build an underwater metropolis? In that case, I'd definitely choose outer space. There are too many scary creatures underwater who will want to eat me. :pale:

A different planet, thanks. While life under the ocean is sure to be fascinating, knowing that there was another living world out there would be far more valuable.

I don't like the water, I can't swim very well so I would choose to live on another planet.

I'd rather be deep in the ocean, where all the fish are.

I was a water baby in another life. And I love to Scuba Dive. I would choose to live underwater. Like Fathom maybe?

Things that live in water creep me out. Apparently they also bug my web browser because when I tried to embed a youtube video of a swimming sea slug, the browser crashed.

I've always had this weird fear of whatever was in the water seeping into me and infecting me somehow. Maybe it's because I spent my childhood in the tropics where that was a distinct possibility. But the odd thing is is that I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was a kid.

So instead of the undersea voyage, I think I'll be taking the trip to the different planet. Hopefully it will have seas of liquefied methane rather than water.

Imagine swimming in the middle of the night and finding a hatchet fish

They are eerie, aren't they? But amazing at the same time. So alien. Besides, what if there were creepy-ass creatures on the planet?

To be honest I'd like to have a tank with some of those in it, find a why to give them natural lighting I forgot how to spell the correct term.
