My thoughts on Observatory installation is it's too hard because the pressure underwater. There also might be more tools above the water that you can use with electricity that can help you become more advanced in what your studying. It is hard to get research because you can't go all the way down to the ocean floor because there is too much pressure for humans heads. They are planning to make an underwater observatory ... "A system of high-tech sensors and fiber optic cables is being set up in the northeast Pacific Ocean that will enable real-time monitoring and data gathering from the ocean floor, and when completed, will become the world’s largest underwater observatory - See more at here " Many aspects of the water are going to be very hard to study, which limits there research. Overall this observatory is taking a big risk and a lot of money could be wasted if it's not done right.
