I agree, Why not just go buy a VLCC or ULCC hull slap a square superstucture on it, paint it nautical blue and viola "mine hangs deeper than yours"! Ellison's Rising Sun is a step in that direction. Blah!

So far the most impressive is AIR since they are considering new technologies.

Here are a few ideas for you designers. Has to be displacment hull, so as not to affect watertight integrity, but what about a grand foyer with a glass bottom. You would have to raise the "tank sides" above the water level and put a big glass platform above it and underwater light it. Imagine the view in tropical waters!

Or like the honeymoon suites in Fiji, put a glass bottom at the foot of the Master bed? Imagine your own salt water dip pool that has fish that can swim right up underneath you?

Use the same concept as a raw water intake for M/Es where you can take off the inspection cover .
