Tony Webb, Managing Director of Planet Ocean Underwater Hotels, LLC, announced today that a documented, patent-protected pathway to safe human living underwater now exists, enabled by U.S. Patent Design D-736947 and advanced through the USA–UAE Coral Civilization Initiative. For the first time, underwater habitation is no longer experimental or permanent in nature. The Planet Ocean Underwater Hotel design establishes a movable, non-anchored, zero-discharge underwater living platform operating at shallow, human-safe depths, while remaining fully retrievable, relocatable, and storm-evasive.
This development represents a significant milestone in the field of underwater tourism and habitation. According to the announcement, the design allows ordinary people to enjoy underwater living for the first time in civilization. The platform introduces a new category of tourism that blends hospitality, science, and conservation into a single operational underwater platform. The hotel will be located at depths no greater than 30 feet, ensuring safety and accessibility.
Planet Ocean Underwater Hotels, LLC is based in Key West, Florida, with fabrication, assembly, and training facilities in the Houma and Morgan City area of Louisiana. The company is an employee-owned and operated endeavor that fabricates and operates affordable movable underwater luxury hotels for its global supporters. The initiative aims to advance humanity’s first-time ever experiences towards living underwater.
