- candiru, on 10/12/2007, -8/+46thanks for explaining an otherwise perfectly good joke.
- razordancer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19I'm in your ocean, eating your friends...
- GeekedAtBirth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Thank you so much
for taking up
half of the
comment page. - felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Google is your friend: http://honeymoons.about.com/b/a/163849.htm
It took a lot of critical thinking and careful consideration, but I finally tried searching Google for "underwater restaurant" and it was the first link.
For the lazy, here's the details:
"Ithaa, the world's first underwater restaurant (pictured), has opened at the stunning Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, which was named the best resort in the Indian Ocean in 2004." - majordannyboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10200 bucks a person and here is the menu:

- foofightrs777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'm still waiting for a restaurant at the end of the universe. Go compound interest!
- Cojawfee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Where is the food cooked?
- tallguy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8"...was named the best resort in the Indian Ocean in 2004." I believe its also the only resort _in_ the Indian Ocean as well.
- angeloloria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5i would swim past that thing naked in a heartbeat.
- LushusJackass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think the fish should open the top and sprinkle foul-smelling flakes of human food all over everyone.. then forget about them down there for 5 or 6 days.
- Charlotte_Web, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Hmmm... where's the bathroom?
"Just outside this door, sir, and behind the coral reef to your right." - Theophrastus666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Just what every patron of an underwater restaurant needs...
Guys from Digg producing massive turds right in their eyeline as they're trying to enjoy their dinner.
"my my... there certainly are a lot of brown fish in the Maldives. What are they called? are they on the menu?" - SourWorm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Some sort of air filtration device I would imagine ... or however else all those other airtight things work. Like submarines and stuff.
- StarManta, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Didn't New Orleans have a lot of those for a while?
(Too soon?) - flr666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Heh. If you've got her to go all the way to the Maldives with you then you have probably passed the 'getting-to-know-each-other' phase :-)
- dreikelvin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think the most important question should also be: where is the toilet?
- ldavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"lol"? I just shook my head in despair...

My Dads friend made it :) I did his website a few years ago for his 800x600 res so excuse the crappyness
Has a bit of info about it though :) - GeekedAtBirth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Open the door, swim outside, do your thing, go back in.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4OMG how do they cook on submarines? Is everything in a can or bucket?
Seriously...sometimes I doubt the future of this generation. ;) - cryptocom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Although it's not quite as dramatic, there is a restaurant at Epcot amusement park in Florida that gives the illusion of being underwater. It's called the Coral Reef Restaurant, and it has several large plexiglass windows that are shared with a large aquarium full of sealife from The Living Seas attraction. I took my gf there on our first 'real' date and it was quite good. The blackened catfish kicked butt.
:) - razordancer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Underwater!
- Theophrastus666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Let alone a gigantic pissed-off shark butting into it like in Jaws 3.
"Aaaiiiii! the screen of bubbles... it does nothing!" - GeekedAtBirth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5If it starts to leak, I hope you want water to drink...
- wordsofwisedumb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's a good idea to contribute positively to the conversation, not just add filler that people have to scroll past to read the good stuff. Thats also why buried comments roll up instead of just get covered, they take less space on the page.

- mattcurrie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I went there last year and was shown around by the guy that came up with the idea.
The food comes from a kitchen in another restaurant on the jetty that leads out to the restaurant.
At dinner time they feed the fish to attract them to the restaurant and you get amazing views of stingrays swimming right above you. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Maldives, go figure...
- 4UIDigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@majordannyboy
$200 bucks could be due to the insurance. But would be a nice thing to do for a wedding anniversary. - Amplix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3mhm, Just digg the story, that there says many things, including but not limited to your comment.
- j11299b, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Errr... Where do you get in?
- mariowario, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2not bad..but one crack in that glass...gg for everyone
- KAIZENfocus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here is a good article with a menu and story of how the restaurant came about..... http://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/154000437/4022883.search?query=ithaa+and+restaurant+and+hilton
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At the underwater restaurant:
I asked the waitress for a glass of water.
She took an empty glass from the shelf, turned it over and handed it to me.
Waiter! My soup is dissipating! - nbcivic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3looks cramped to me and too open to be romantic.
- cooldocviper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1For all of those looking for the real website of this place http://www.hiltonworldresorts.com/resorts/Maldives/index.html
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder if they have any 'Coney Island White Fish'?
(Do non -New Yorkers even know what that means?) - Cambo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1isnt this at the hilton in the maldives??
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How can you eat fish, with all those fish watching you?
Kinda creepy! - jpop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wonder what the fish pay to see the people eat...
- Porkape, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Its Maldives, if you're wondering. Also, its not the only resort in the Indian Ocean - Seychelles and Mauritius are island nations as well with huge Tourism industries. I'm sure there are others that I cannot think of, especially in between the southern tip of India and, westwards towards, Africa.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1did u know that the maldives won't be there in nearly 50 to 80 years due to global warming!
Makes me sad - Disconnect, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.forbesisland.com/
Ate there last month (played hooky from the web 2.0 conference), not bad. Fun :) - AlexRage, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Pipes...they're called pipes.
- geminiking01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0does anyone remember the 2004 tsunami in the Indian ocean?
