Just pull the chain, and off you go!
With the tube full of water the external pressure of deep Sea installation wouldn't be so much of a problem.
The Tube buoyancy problem would be overcome as well as the safety problem caused by undersea earth quakes.
If the tube is damaged it goes to sea pressure and crushes the contents like a sardine can, but no dramatic flooding or excessive structural destruction.
This, worryingly, look feasible...on paper.

"Benthospheric Tube Transport." You could use tubes on planet Venus. Atmospheric tubes.
It's easy to get stuff to float there, just fill it with nitrogen gas. Floats like a hot air balloon!
The real problem, other than a bit of wind, is coming up with enough plastic to provide the gas envelope.
So in a scene reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman hearing about his potential future as "The Graduate", I would say for the future of Venus the answer is "Plastic!"
Mostly Teflon, actually.
