At the uber fancy PER AQUUM Niyama resort in Maldives
tourists frolic between two private islands
a gourmet restaurant six (hence the name) meters (about 20 feet) beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean
In order to even see Subsix, visitors must come by speedboat
or a 15 minute one from Niyama Resort's islands
The entrance to the restaurant is inconspicuous
just a mysterious pair of doors atop a short dock
they descend three stories beneath the waves into the "clam-shaped" bar
The building (constructed on land then sunk below the waves) sits central to a thriving coral reef
Sea anemone chairs and soft blue light invite the diners into the ocean world
and parrotfish swimming just beyond the glass
The world's largest underwater restaurant is submerged off the southern tip of Norway
The world’s highest ski resort was deserted after an 18,000-year-old glacier melted away
A submerged archeological park still holds the wonders of a Roman Sodom
Thanks to the building of a life-giving reservoir
part of the Great Wall of China is now a dive site
Submerged busts of communist and socialist figures from the USSR
This 38-year old fish became a casualty of changing trends
