Natural Science Forum / Earth Science / Oceanography / January 2004Underwater Structures
Hello, I am very interested in creating an underwater hotel, like Jules', and am curious how much it would cost to construct such an underwater building. I am also curious if there is anywhere that it could be stationed in international waters that is not 'crazy' deep -- I have heard that the Pacific Ocean is much shallower than the Atlantic, is this true? Thanks, Trizz > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Trizz The Pacific is much much shallower, as anyone who has ever talked to both at cocktail parties can tell you. With the Pacific, it's all about the current fashions, which ocean is interchanging salinity with another, that sort of thing. On the other hand, the Atlantic always goes into discussions about existential things like whether it forms deep water for itself or for the benefit of others and whether it really has an identity of its own or is just a part of a larger body of water. Of course, subjects tend to drift with either and sometimes oceans just wave at you without talking at all. They're funny that way. I guess it comes from their being harsh mistresses. Or maybe it's that the only time they have anyone go down on them, they use a ship. The bottom line is that you should put your hotel in the Pacific if you want to attract the "Paris Hilton" crowd. If you want a to get a "salon" thing going, put it in the Atlantic. Wherever you decide to locate it, a great name would be "The Amphidromic Point." -Bill "I know, it's 'to' not 'on'" Asher Then there's the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea - both pretty deep in places and inscrutable too, but prime for underwater establishments in coastal shallows if you want to specialize in cowboy movies or bland cuisine, respectively. Costs, using the latest in offshore labor forces, should be lower than local US labor (although you'd want to keep an eye on quality). The Mediterranean is a bit steep, but you might consider the Aral Sea; you could run the world's first seabed motel, and the restaurant might attract a good walk-in trade. >>Hello, >> [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > -Bill "I know, it's 'to' not 'on'" Asher > The bottom line is that you should put your hotel in the Pacific if you > want to attract the "Paris Hilton" crowd.

Just make sure Dirk Pitt is working nearby when disaster strikes... |
