The design challenges of having a base in severe depths are beyond extreme. The pressures at the bottom of the ocean are incredible, and human beings simply aren't designed to accomodate them. I'm sure the government has some really cool research facilities, but I doubt they're at the bottom of the sea.

Imagine how much would be lost if you sprung a leak? At crush depth pressure, water can cut through steel.
