Underwater Lodge in Florida

If you have a taste for adventure and are open for a quirky yet interesting experience, then head on out to Key Largo in Florida.

Jules' Undersea Lodge is located underwater off the coast of Florida. It used to function as a research lab. It has since been turned into a two-bedroom lodge. From your bedroom window, you can actually watch marine animals swim by.

Now, to get there, is an experience in itself. Guests must dive 21ft down to the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon. Not a diver? No problem. 3-hour crash courses are offered. And no, you do not need to spear-hunt for food. A mer-chef (don't you just love the name?) will dive down to cook your meal, shortly before meal times.

You can sample what Jules has to offer for 3 hours (exclusive for scaredy cats) or for a night or more. Available packages can be found here. If you want to take your diving skills to the next level, Jules is again there for you. Heck, you can even get married there!

So, the next time you may be willing to leave your comfort zone, do consider Jules Underwater Lodge. More than anything else, it will be an experience you will never forget.
