How will you deal with air pressure, air exchange, condensation, land-slides, earthquakes, auto accidents, and mussle build-ups? |

It's pretty dark and murky at the bottom of most oceans, what with all the constant rain of dead creatures floating down from higher up - in all but the most tropical of oceans. It wouldn't be long before the glass is coated with a murky layer consisting of fishbones, algae, the corpses of ex-plankton, old boots, pirate treasure - all the usual stuff - what would be needed is some kind of wiping device so that the view of the pitch-black depths could remain unobscured. |

But perhaps it would be nice to create an underwater network of interconnecting tubes to link up lands in a tropical archipelago - an area like the Caribbean would benefit massively* from land-connections between islands, and maybe even to the mainland. |
