Building in the Deep: 7 Feats of Underwater Engineering

While construction has been on hold for years, Poseidon will have no trouble hooking guests if it's ever completed. Plans call for 24 undersea suites with 4-inch-thick transparent plexiglass windows to let guests take in the world under the sea. Although all the suites will be connected to a permanently fixed main corridor, they'll be detachable stand-alone modules that can resurface if necessary.

Visitors would access Poseidon's suites airlocks with carbon fiber doors. This form of entry and exit allows the resort to keep its interior at surface pressure, lessening the possibility of any physiological side effects such as decompression.
