From my understanding Tsunami are mainly surface (land) effects of the earthquake in coastal areas. If the sub or house is far enough off the coast no worry.

Tsunamis aren't the only effect of an earthquake waste gate. All it would take is one small crack in that thing and the occupants are screwed.

I stand corrected. Thanks August.

One would hope it is very over-engineered.
If there was a accident it would put a end to investment in such projects.

Hmm I dunno about that. With a world population over 6 billion and climbing, i'd imagine any inhibitions caused by such an accident might only be temporary.

Another thought i have from looking at that site is that those brightly lit waters are not going to be very realistic. It seems way too shallow. It gets dark as heck after 100 feet and anything less is going to pose some serious hazards to navigation.

Well, I was thinking more of a end of funding to novelty underwater hotels.
