While being completely underwater makes the engineering
quite difficult, having some habitable underwater area has much
to be said for it. It has an undeniable romantic appeal
(underwater weddings? Parties? Honeymoon suites?). Jules'
Undersea Lodge in Key Largo, Florida, charges $300-$600 per
night [Jules]. It has received a
lot of media attention, for example it was featured on
"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". Hydropolis, the worlds
first luxury underwater hotel, is to be built in Dubai (close
to The Palms) and completed
in late 2006 [ReutersDubai]. The project
is funded to the tune of five hundred million dollars.
Poseiden Resorts is another planned project [Poseidon]. The Global Coral Reef
Alliance [GCRA] has demonstrated
that electro-accretion can be used to build and sustain
artificial coral reefs for diving.

U.S. Subs is posting:
>http://www.ussubs.com/habitats/undersea_resort.php3<
that the first one-atmosphere sub-surface resort will soon be open. (See link)
On that vein, it would seem that incorperating such a structure would be possible for the Seastead, possibly making the Seastead residence and services for such an 'underwater' resort.

Hmm, all I could find was that Poseidon is entering "Final Design Stages", which makes me a bit skeptical. ie that could be true even without funding or a location...
