Now I know that this is just a hotel, but this is the first true attempt at underwater living (aside from labs, etc). Pretty interesting.

    That would be pretty sweet for a vacation spot... I wouldn't want to live under water, but for a weekend or something it would be cool.

    Wish I had a few thousand dollars I didn't want.

    I would imagine a guy making submarines for 20 years would know how thick to make it... and if not, damn! It would be funny in my opinion.
