There is an exhibit at Atlantis called The Dig.
It gives you a better look at their huge fish tank as well as cool "artifacts" of lost Atlantis.
Part of it is this strange steamy room that as a bunch of old looking scuba equipment. It also opens up to the gift shop.
I think it's supposed to look like the men who were here may have been devoured by the piranha. 
Or eels.
Amazing thanks for sharing the pics.
ReplyDeleteI've never had any interest in staying at fancy resorts, but now you've piqued my curiosity a little. Not that I'll ever be able to afford a place like that ;-P
ReplyDeleteEek!
ReplyDeletewow i would love to go there........ but dont think i will ever get to =(
ReplyDeleteIf you had bought more at the gift shop, perhaps men wouldn't have been devoured in the display. So... just saying...... ??
ReplyDeleteconsumerism, man.. It's the answer.
ps you made this resort look way more fun than I ever thought it would be. they owe you royalties.
Have you ever watched the "Piranha" movie? Rottentomatoes gives it a 64% and this is the tag line: "Operation Razorteeth," a government project involving the breeding of mutant piranhas, gets way out of hand when the fish raid a lake at a summer camp for kids...
ReplyDeleteHow can you say no to that?
I'll bet the "piranha" are really pacus.
ReplyDeleteThose are some creepy looking eels.
ReplyDelete...hat.
ReplyDeleteThose eels are giant morays...

Creepy :-)
Do you remember 'Piranha' with Lee Majors...that was an AWESOME film!
ReplyDeleteJust think, at one point it was all thought to be myth. Today we can peruse the anti-gravity guns and telepathic helmets of Atlantean invention.
ReplyDeleteIt is officially the age of science fiction made science fact.
Some of this looks like it could be a LOST set!
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
every time you have done a post on atlantis i think of the song atlantis by donovan...
ReplyDeleteBuenísimo JOrge!
ReplyDeleteI love that a fictional place can have artifacts. It's like how the entire tourist industry of Prince Edward Island is based on Anne of Green Gables. You can go Cavendish, PEI and pay to see the house "Green Gables", filled with furniture Anne would have used when she lived there, right down to the cracked slate she smashed over Gilbert's head (except it's fictional).
ReplyDeleteTopanga: that's just like King Arthur or Robin Hood memorabilia here!
ReplyDeleteWe went to the Atlantis for our honeymoon! I LOVED it and I REALLY want to go back someday!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this with us, Jorge! The Dig looks a bit tourist-y but I bet it was fun!
ReplyDeleteLivin the dream...
ReplyDeleteAfter we went to Hawaii, the Bahamas lost all appeal, except that it doesn't take 10 hours to get there from the East Coast. Was it a let-down for you?
ReplyDeleteJorge,
ReplyDeleteIn my best southern accent "them there piranhas is good eating." Think about that one for a while.

ReplyDeleteI was thinking of looking up some of them newspaper websites, but am glad I came here instead.
