Interesting--but I might suggest that 500 french divers might SMELL like 
goats after several days--500 divers from anywhere would--it conjures an 
interesting picture--

As to habitats, why not make a sort of towed DLO sub? Use the tow boat as 
your surface support with low pressure/high volume compressor, a small 
generator, potable water source and surface support. You wouldn't have to 
worry about ballast. It would be built in. Concrete maybe. And you'd have 
MBTs to flood down and then a couple of sizeable trim tanks to go negative 
with. You could blow ballast using your air source when the time came to go 
to the house and then you wouldn't have to worry about hazards to navigation. 
Stay out of the shipping lanes, fly your RAM flags and relax and enjoy it.
