A mobile undersea habitat includes an elongated vessel having a hull providing an elongated recess opening downwardly to the sea, and a cooperatively dimensioned elongated column seated within the recess. The column includes an elongated structural member with a conduit extending along its length and an elongated panel providing a closure for the hull opening which also functions as a support member in the column. A support member pivotally mounts one end of the support member in the hull, and a pivot pivotally mounts one end of the structural member in the hull at a point spaced from the support member pivot. A habitat is provided at the other end of the column and it is pivotally mounted to the structural and support member so that it maintains a horizontal attitude at any angular portion of the column. The conduit provides a passage from the vessel to the habitat in which a transport capsule carries personnel and supplies.
