mike_s:where are they building it?
Are you talking about the Atlantis they built in the Bahamas? They are completing ( completed) the 3rd phase of it now, but it's been up and in business for a few years. However, it's not a dive park, but an aquarium, hotel, casino, and water slide.PaulSmithTek:does anyone know the website for the atlantis dive park they are building?
Firebrand:He's not talking about the resort. I read a snip-it in one of my dive magazines about it. It will be a collection of an underwater sun dial, columns and other "Atlantis" inspired objects. I can't recall where it's going to be placed, but I'll do some research and see if I can find something out. If I do, I'll post a link in this thread.
I just found it in the November 2004 issue of Scuba Diving Magazine. It is set to be in 40 feet of water off of Key Biscane in the Florida Keys. The snip-it says, "It will also be the final home of up to 62,000 individuals, whose cremated remains will be mixed with cement and incorporated into the city's pillars and columns." The site is scheduled to be over 800 feet in diameter, but no date was given in the article as to when the project will begin construction. Gary Levine, president of AfterLife Services in Fort Lauderdale came up with the idea for the dive park.
