A claim making the blog rounds suggests Dubai's ballyhooed underwater hotel, the Hydropolis, is opening this month. But take a closer look and you'll see it just isn't so. Number one: the Hydropolis was supposed to be finished in October of 2006, with a December 2006 opening, which we believe is getting optimistic people mixed up. Number two: if this thing is ready for business, why are the only images on the site a bunch of cheesy renderings from 2004? What, they don't have cameras in Dubai?
Looks like those of you willing to drop five large to sleep with the fishes, in a manner of speaking, will have to wait a while longer.

umm probably not launching soon. they had less than $2m in the bank 6 months ago and $40m in intangible (paper) assets. Those plans must be real killer and the cost of construction minimal for a near term launch. If you visit, definitely take your wet suit and an extra oxygen tank, it could get real deep out there.
