  Fascinating. When you pump the water out I wonder what it's replaced with? What holds back to pressure of the ocean at 700 meters depth? The article was very light on details, unfortunately.

    My understanding is that they do not replace it with anything. I'd assume the only thing they look at is not to go above the pressure differential that the dome/sphere can sustain.
