First Undersea Restaurant

Posted on May 3, 2005 Under Life

The word’s first “Undersea Restaurant” has opened in The Maldives. The restaurant is a part of the Hilton Maldives Resort, on Rangali Island. The restaurant, which is called Ithaa, sits five meters below the surface of the Indian Ocean, surrounded by coral reefs, schools of fish, and general fun to watch marine life. All of this can be scene through the clear curved acrylic encasing, based on aquarium technology. The room is small, and only seats 14–so good luck getting a seat. Costumers get into the restaurant through a spiral staircase from a deck above the water where the a la cart menu is served. More info and pictures are on Hospitality Net.
