Even in 2010 , the idea of a fully - operable submersed community seems like a passing futuristic and ridiculously unsufferable sci - fi dreaming . It would n’t surprise me to see an underwater fortress being used as a hideout by Dr. Evil inthe next Austin Powers movie . It also makes me cogitate of theLooking Glass stationon LOST , and we all know by now what happened there . ( If you do n’t , do n’t penetrate that link , holler at yourself for being so far behind , and get on Netflix right now and find out . )
What I am describing is not , in fact , a far - off aspiration but a currently - under - construiction reality nominate thePoseidion Undersea Resort- a full - submerged getaway that will be open to anyone willing to pony up about $ 1500 a night for a 550 straight - foot suite :
The resort ’s official web site details the concept :
When completed ( is it " early 2010 " yet ? ) , the resort will feature all of the typical fare ( health spa , restaurants , fitness club , group discussion adroitness ) as well as activities for the more adventuresome among us ( submarine navigation , scuba diving , weewee sport , paragliding , etc . ) . The land site even mentions the power to play 9 - holes of golf . I take over that they mean on land nearby , but in the improbable event that they are develop some new mind - blowing applied science that allow you to hit the links underwater , I just may have to reserve my stay .
Baring the Modern golfing technology , I have see the movie The Abyss far too many time to endure a claustrophobic week in the Posedion . But , do n’t let me spoil the party . Who among us would be brave enough to savor a water - logged week of R&R ?
