    Plans afoot for Dubai's first underwater hotel

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...l-8467823.html

    Dubai is no stranger to breaking records. First, they built the world's largest mall, then they built the world's tallest building... And now, if plans come to fruition, the emirate could become home to the world's largest underwater hotel.

    The Water Discus hotel has been designed by Polish company Deep Ocean Technology (DOT) with the help of Swiss firm BIG InvestConsult AG. The hotel will comprise of two discs - one under the water, and one suspended above the water. The discs will be connected by five legs, and a vertical shaft in the centre housing stairs and a lift.

    The underwater section will be up to 10 metres beneath the sea surface, and contain 21 double rooms adjacent to a dive centre and a bar. Each room has been designed to 'integrate with the underwater world as closely as possible'.

    Due to the modular design of the hotel, the Water Discus can be transferred to a different place in case of environmental or economic concerns. The surface discs have been designed to be buoyant and detachable from the main structure, to act as lifeboats should any natural disaster strike.

      All seems very 'Dr No' it sucks that this type of advanced technology / design always happens outside the United States though...

                      this is true. mad Philippinos there, and other asian people. Dubai has nice places. For the most part it is shit. very hot, very over rated. To far from the US for me to even care to go back to a place like that..

                                              I wonder how they keep the radicals at bay in Dubai. Seems out of all the places that would be easy for them to hit westerners in their own back yard, it would be there.
                                              In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                  security. they have the money for it.

                                                  to get to the main hotel there you have to pass through like 5 layers of security

                                                                                                          Plus even if the city gets only 50% occupancy it does not mean this particular developer could not get 80% or more.

                                                                                                          They need to build fancy shit otherwise nobody would come their for vacations and they need tourist to replace oil when it ends.

Isnt this the place that has a convoy of shit-filled trucks lining the highways at certain times because they have no way of dealing with it? Also seen some celebrity say she was almost arrested there for hugging a man in public that she was not married to. Such a backwards place.

                                                                                                                      They also admitted when they were building the one hotel that they should have probably built salt water conversion plants instead.

                                                                                                                                  Plus even if the city gets only 50% occupancy it does not mean this particular developer could not get 80% or more.

                                                                                                                                  They need to build fancy shit otherwise nobody would come their for vacations and they need tourist to replace oil when it ends.
