A hotel under the sea? It'd be cooler if you got there in a yellow submarine! :cool: I'd love to stay at the place (as if I could ever afford it though).

New hotel built under the sea
February 25, 2005
YOU don't need to be wearing concrete boots to be able to sleep with the fishes.
An undersea hotel is in the planning stages and is set to be located off Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas.
The Poseidon Undersea Resort - the brainchild of US entrepreneur Bruce Jones - is expected to cost more than $50 million to build.
Guests will be able to witness the marine life up close from 15m below sea level. But the view comes with a hefty price - almost $2000 a night.
According to the resort's website, it would be the first sea-floor resort and is accessible to all, with a tunnel entrance and constantly controlled humidity and atmospheric pressure.
The resort will also feature a private library, as well as a revolving restaurant, which will give patrons a full 180-degree view.
But not all the fun is to be had underwater.
The resort's onshore section will include a cafe, tennis courts and for those who are especially keen on water, a swimming pool.
Guests can control the environment with buttons to turn on outside lights and feed the fish.
