On the planet's first submerged dance club, you're as liable to experience a killer shark as a DJ slaughtering the dance floor. The place is Subsix, situated 500m seaward of the island resort Niyama in the Dhaalu Atoll which is a 40-minute jump by a seaplane from the capital Malé.
Envision a series of big windows watching out onto a clear cut of reef and with a DJ screaming and a mixed drink bar behind you. Wrasse, snapper, parrotfish and anemones sparkled through the floor-to-roof windows. They skimmed in suspended movement, charmed by the turning disco lights and the electric orange and green glowsticks that the vodka-drinking clubbers were thrashing around.
Subsix was built on land in 2010 before being sunk and moved carefully to a coral greenhouse recreated by marine biologists. At present time, the reef is thriving and the dance club has experienced an important submerged restoration.
The submerged club just closes when the last visitor climbs the stairs to take the shuttle boat back to the island which is a 15-minute ride. Celebrating until dawn isn't impossible any way.
The club is equivalent to any club you'd find in London's Soho or New York's Tribeca. Despite the fact that it will cost you a considerable amount, the experience of drinking jug of brew underneath the sea will be a memorable one.
Also, perhaps you'll see it hard not to have your disco socks brushed clean up in light of the fact that it has something to do with the absence of oxygen down there.
So what does it feel like to move under the ocean, with toothy sharks and stingrays peering toward your moves from just a couple meters away? Anticipate that it will be something you'll gloat going to your friends for a considerable length of time.
