The submarines receive nearly 2 million tourists each year and the number is still growing. Passengers can see the colorful coral reefs (珊瑚礁) and sunken (下沉的) ships through the big windows of them. Now there has been a move to connect art with the underwater tourism. Passengers who love art can also watch amazing art works in underwater museums like the Australia's Museum of Underwater Art.
For a more fantastic experience, tourists can enjoy nice food under the sea. In 2022,the Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa opened the world's first underwater restaurant, Ithaa. Sitting in the restaurant, you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean. But it isn't cheap. The dinner costs about $400 per person. Be sure to book it early. Because the restaurant has only 14 seats.
Undersea tourism has also brought more attention to the importance of protecting oceans and the animal life that calls them home. British artist Jason Tayior, whose artwork can be seen in a lot of underwater tourist places around the world, feels this is key. “Most people just see the surface of the ocean and it is hard to imagine that things underwater are so easy to be hurt.
