    Thought this was real cool. In the Bahamas someone is building an underwater hotel. Your room would have acrylic walls and you would have a direct view at the coral reef. Unfortunately their talking $1,500.00 a night.

    Just what we need, more encroachment on critical habitat of sea life!

    True. But if you think about it, ship wrecks become habitat and fish and corals use them.

    Perhaps this hotel could even be designed to encourage their growth. That would be pretty cool. :)

    Hopefully they won't make it so the waste goes right in the water. Doubt they could legally anyway.

    That would be cool if they could make the hotel into a reef.

    Man someone should pitch that idea to them. It would be a win/win. More marine life, more reason to come to the hotel.

    Imagine having to clean the algae off the glass. That would be one big magnet cleaner. :)

    Someone at the hotel could scuba dive and do it. :)
