Jones quickly got a feel for the water. He started diving at age 9 and, by the 1980s, began offering advice for those interested in the submarine business. By 1993, he was running his own company, U．S. Submarines, which designed and built submarines for resorts and individuals.

　　Jones plans to spend $40 million in building a hotel where the most expensive rooms will be 50 feet under the sea off Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas. Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge — the only undersea hotel now, just off the coast of Key Largo, Fla. — guests at the Poseidon won't need to put on a wet suit to get to their rooms. They also won't need to worry about changing pressure levels since the rooms will be kept at above-surface pressure. Instead, they can move easily to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by escalator.

　　“I think there are a large number of people who would be interested，” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”

　　Each room will feature strong windows that look out onto coral gardens. There will be controls in each room that guests can use to change the lighting of the underwater worlds outside their windows and to provide food for fish swimming by.

　　“By now I envisioned (展望) we'd have whole underwater cities，” Craig Cooper, the director for the Aquarius research station said. “It's about time some of these visions became reality.”
