1/1000 of a League under the Sea

Here are few pictures of restaurant Ithaa at the Hilton Maldives Resort and Spa, Rangali Island. It is 16 feet (or 0.0009 leagues) underwater, seats 12 and seems pretty pricey (187-220 dollars per person in ‘05) for a place that does not have a kitchen on premises.
And I don’t think I like the idea [...]
