What if the goal is actually to get away from the rest of humanity (in particular the part of it that would be likely think that colonising Mars is a ridiculous waste of money)? The circumstance that people of most political persuasions except for a very narrow set tend to find moving to Mars ridiculous but moving under the sea realistic itself seems to be pretty good evidence that if you wanted to get away from everyone outside of the narrow set, going to Mars would be good enough but going undersea would not.
