The world’s first undersea restaurant opened 5 years ago this month at the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, and to celebrate the anniversary the restaurant is offering guests the chance to not only eat under the sea but sleep under it as well. The 12-seat restaurant will be converted to a private bedroom suite for two, complete with private champagne dinner and breakfast in bed.
What’s this? This may look like some strange, newly-discovered form of sea life, but it is actually just a blob of paint dropped into water. Artist Mark Mawson came up with the technique for a series of photographs he calls Aqueous.
And the following “white vertical drop” is my favorite one in the series. It is such a simple and beautiful form.
All these photographs are winners of an underwater photograph competition organized by Wetpixel and DivePhotoGuide (in association with Our World Underwater)
This series has a really cool name: Life and death beneath the waves, 12 images in all.
