Colonize The Ocean - Shorts : What Happened To...Poseidon Undersea Resorts

In this August 10, 2026 episode of Colonize the Ocean, Brendon Traxler kicks off a mini-series on ambitious underwater habitats and resorts that never made it.He dives into the biggest name of them all: Poseidon Undersea Resorts, the project led by Bruce Jones of U.S. Submarines. The domain dates back to 2003 (over 20 years old), and the idea itself is even older—Jones had been floating concepts for an underwater habitat years earlier.The website is still online and looks solid, but the project went dead in the water. Last social media activity was in 2014, when they claimed they were about 36 months away (pointing to a 2016 opening). Nothing ever happened. Jones later shifted focus more toward private submarines.Brendon believes it was a genuine effort—not just a PR stunt. The designs were stunning and could have delivered a strong return, but the price tag (likely around half a billion dollars) was massive. Like so many other underwater projects, it simply never materialized.He asks listeners: Do you remember Poseidon? Did you ever want to stay there?
