I just finished modeling hex's and they don't lock together as well as octogons, so here's my updated suggestion.

What's the advantage of your octogon things over Rhombic dodecahedron?

we can experiment with different shapes.

the octopod is easy to build,

more friendly to furniture.

the spaces inbetween the tethered octopods can be used for many purposes,

like a diving or surfacing point for

people and animals.

the space between the octopods can be sealed with ferrocement and evacuated to increase boyancy.

also can be used as the "hall" or navigating between the octopods.

doubtlessly people would prefer you go around their hull than through it to get to your destination unrelated to them.
