Blub, Blub.

Blub, Blub. That's the noise people make when they're underwater.In case you were wondering. And apparently, more and more people like to go 'blub, blub.'

Sea.Fire.Salt.Sky Restaurant

Although there are already underwater hotels, such as Jules Underwater Lodge in Key Largo (looks a little claustrophobic to me) and a few underwater restaurants like Sea.Fire.Salt.Sky in the Anantara Kihavah Villas in Maldives, there has yet to be an underwater resort. But not for long. There is currently a bit of a business race between Fuji and Dubai to see which location will sport the world's first underwater resort. However, Bruce Jones (president of the company building Fuji's Poseidon Undersea Resort) is confident that his resort will be completed and opened first. 

Poseidon Undersea Resort - Proposed Room

The Poseidon Underwater Resort will be composed of 24 underwater suites as well as suites situated over the water and beachfront suites. A one-week stay will allow you to move (with the assistance of a butler) between the various types of suites -  for just $15,000 a person. Your hard earned cash will get you all the usual resort amenities and plushy things, as well as piloting lessons in a mini-submarine. Don't expect the steep price tag to deter people, the resort already has 120,000 people wanting to be informed when booking can begin.

The Water Discus - Proposed Design

Dubai's resort, The Water Discus, will house its 31 underwater rooms in a giant disc. Separate discs above water will house the spa, swimming pool, helipad, and whatever other extravagance they deem necessary. And don't worry, the entire hotel can be raised above the water in case of an emergency. Or, the entire hotel can be bobbed to some other location. 

So if you want to spend your vacation watching fishies from the comfort of a plush, king size bed (and you haven't seen the movie Deep Blue Sea), then keep an eye on these two resorts. Although various dates seem to be floating around (floating...you get it?), there doesn't seem to be a definitive opening date for either resort. Until then, we'll all just have to sleep on land, the normal, boring way.
