A Table Underwater, Sir? Certainly, This Way Please
If you're looking for a table with a view, the Hilton Maldives Hotel & Spa (recently rebranded as The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island) has just the dining room for you. It's an acrylic tube five meters under the water in the Indian Ocean surrounded by a coral reef and about 40 zilllion fish.
A New Zealand design firm built this restaurant, called Ithaas, with a 270-degree view of underwater life, and it opened in April. Just walk down the steps enclosed in a tube from the dock and ask for the wine list.

Excellent. Have you been to the Maldives? I follow several photographers from there on Flickr and am constantly astounded at the beauty. I've never actually looked into whether or not you can go there for a reasonable amount of money though. I also worry that it is all about just sitting on the beach and might get boring after a while. I'm interested in your opinion.

Sadly I haven't been to the Maldives, Ben, but I only hear great things about the place as a beach resort. Getting there isn't cheap. Neither is staying there--rooms at the Hilton resort with the underwater restaurant start around $550 a night and go up fast. I think if you go you should be prepared to consider your trip largely a beach holiday.
