Next dive trip: At 21ft below the surface, Jules Undersea Lodge in Florida brings a whole new meaning to the phrase sleeping with the fishes. Its the worlds only underwater hotel, where guests can stay overnight for £500 for two – and that includes a Papa Johns pizza for dinner. To reach the lodge, which started life as a research laboratory, guests have to scuba 21ft down into the sea, which is brimming with reef fish, tropical angel fish, snappers and barracuda. Once inside the hotel, divers – who must be a qualified scuba diver - are free to roam around, staying overnight or opting for a three-hour trip at £90pp. Food is provided courtesy of the local pizza delivery company, or guests can book for a chef to dive down and prepare dinner for them. On the website, Jules Undersea Lodge states: ‘When guests visit Jules Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, they discover that the name is no marketing gimmick. ‘Just to enter the Lodge, one must actually scuba dive 21 feet beneath the surface of the sea. ‘Diving through the tropical mangrove habitat of the Emerald Lagoon and approaching the worlds only underwater hotel is quite an experience. ‘Even from the outside, Jules big 42 inch round windows cast a warm invitation to come in and stay a while, relax and get to know the underwater world that so few of us have even visited.’ The ‘cottage-size’ hotel isn’t short on creature comforts, boasting hot showers, a well-stocked kitchen (complete with refrigerator and microwave), books, music and movies.
