....and New Orleans, though I hear that it's mostly dry now.

We have a sunken city here in China that has nothing to do with the Three Gorges. It's a walled city that was formerly home to approximately 6000 people. You can swim through the city's north gate, and see a nine-meter tall imperial tablet erected by the Qianlong Emperor, along with swimming through single and two-storey homes, some with their roof timbers still in place. My company, SinoScuba, is the only company that can arrange diving there. PM me through this board if you're interested, diving season runs April-October.

Lake Mead has one maybe more

I would like to dive through main street so to speak

You mean kind of like the opening scene to the 1999 movie "In Dreams"?

P.S. I replaced the "i"s in your quote, hope you don't mind.

e.a.e.

Do the residents of KY even know what a Diver Down flag is?!? I'm not meaning to offend anyone but after living in KY, I'm not entirely convinced the fishermen of KY know what the diver down flag means.

They know what it is but just dont pay attention. Just like poor drivers on the road that pass a schoolbus.

Take a look at the Hydropolis project in Dubai for a modern submarine living space (it will eventually be a hotel). There is another submarine hotel somewhere in the States but I can't remember where exactly right now.

You can also have a read about the Sealab experiment and similar programmes which looked into the feasibility of living on the seabed (under saturation conditions).
