Depends which location they build the resort. As Nomerci said, they need to make artificial reefs all around the resort and put some mild lighting arrangement for the people to appreciate the marine life. Iam not in favour of this as its against the marine conservation policy.

pappu, no cards are fine...you still got to have the cash in the bank though...;)

it's actually the pearl development after the reclaimed land goes back underwater.

They already have under water observation rooms like a submarine and are widely used in the Caribbean and other tropical places where there are clean waters and plenty of fish to see.Here not sure, before they do that they will need create a coral life for the fish to bread around them.

mbk..forget them..u don't have to live within their standards..we should live according to what really pleases us and not base on what people will think about us..who are they anyway..

 

anyhow..goin back to the topic before MODS intervene..lol..i had a hunch that this one is one the DUbai's plan..but given there economic situation..i don't think if it's feasible..

This was initially the idea of Dubai, since they have given up on their wonderful ideas Qatar can now use them.How do you know this post will from SS ingeniero? Are you psychic or what? Or maybe you know Shisha too well? hehe
