Poseidon Undersea Resorts

http://www.poseidonresorts.com

Will you have to be a SCUBA diver to use the Poseidon Undersea resort?
No, the Poseidon Undersea Resort is entered through a tunnel and the
interior of the resort is constantly at one atmosphere, meaning there
is no difference between the pressure inside the resort and
atmospheric pressure at the surface. Anyone can use the resort. Access
is simple and the interior is completely air conditioned and humidity
controlled.

I've heard of undersea habitats. What's the difference between the
Poseidon Undersea Resort and an undersea habitat? A typical undersea
habitat, of which some 70 have been built over the last 40 years, is
basically a research facility for divers. The occupants are exposed to
the pressure of the ocean corresponding to the depth of the habitat
and so they are subject to certain physiological restrictions and
often require decompression. The Poseidon Undersea Resort is
completely different, like a submarine, the pressure inside the
structure never changes from surface pressure regardless of depth.
People can enter the resort and stay as long as they like and relax as
if they were in their living rooms at home.

What makes the Poseidon Undersea resort so unique?
Our resort will be the world's first permanent one-atmosphere sea
floor structure and the world's first true undersea resort. Guests
will enjoy 5 star luxury accommodation, all with stunning views of the
underwater world.

How much will it cost?
We estimate that the room rate for a standard 550 square foot undersea
suite will be $1500 per night. The Poseidon Undersea Resort will be
the only place where you can spend a night underwater on the sea floor
with a spectacular view. The "once in a lifetime" experience will be
worth every penny.

What makes the undersea suites so special?
About 60% of the exterior surface of the suite is transparent acrylic
making the undersea views panoramic. Outside of the sitting area of
each suite will be a private artificial reef that will be the home for
unique varieties of marine life. Each suite will also have its own
underwater lights controllable from an inside switch and an external
fish feeder as well. Guests will be able to push a button and feed the
fish outside.
The level of luxury in the suites themselves will be unsurpassed with
the finest fabrics, woods and fixtures. Each suite has a large jacuzzi
tub with fabulous views of the sea floor as well.

With all that transparent acrylic, what about privacy?
The suites are set up with a reflective film so that it is nearly
impossible to see into them during the day. At night, guests will be
able to opaque sections of the viewports to increase their privacy.

What will the restaurant be like?
The world's first sea floor restaurant will be revolving. You will be
able to take a table near the acrylic windows and then complete a full
revolution in about one hour. Cuisine will be strictly five-star with
an eclectic selection of some of the world's best dishes prepared by
Master chefs and served by skilled, personable and attentive waiters
and waitresses.

What other amenities are available?
The Poseidon resort will also have a library/lounge/conference room
exclusively for the use of its patrons. There will likely be a diver
lock out chamber and moon pool combination so that qualified SCUBA
divers can lock in and out of the resort. We are also considering a
deep submersible that could depart from the resort with guests and
make exploratory trips to nearby reefs and walls.

On shore the resort will have a reception area, cafe, swimming pool
and tennis courts. There will also be a dive shop on the shore
premises and a car rental facility. The resort will have a
complementary limousine service to take guests to and from the
airport. In the Bahamas the resort will also have a private plane to
fly guests to and from Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

How safe is the resort?
The resort is built to rigid safety requirements with high levels of
structural integrity, large safety factors and fully redundant
fail-safe systems. Each room is completely isolated from the central
hall and other rooms with a double pressure proof door system and
independent emergency life support systems.

Tourist submarines carry nearly 2 million passengers each year and
have a perfect safety record making them statistically the world's
safest form of transportation. The engineers at U.S. Submarines have
incorporated many of the same safety systems found in tourist subs
into the Poseidon Undersea resort.
