With the first undersea restaurant and water SPA in the world, Maldives demonstrates his hope clearly---transforming from the role of “victims of environment” to “environmental reformers”. The island is going to build a golf course, a floating course connected with the undersea tunnel, which attracts world’s eyes again. The world-class golf management company Troon Golf and the construction company Dutch Docklands announced that they were going to build a floating golf course in Maldives a year ago. According to the blueprints, the three independent courses would be built on an artificial lake, surrounded by a blue sea in different directions. The golf resort planed to establish in a shape of starfish, providing a full range of viewing angles. On the top of each floor is full of green plants but this is not the biggest selling point. As we all know, Maldives has built the world’s first undersea restaurant, located in the Conrad Maldives Rangali Resort and underwater spa in the Huvafen Fushi Maldives Resort. In fact, the there islands are not separate and they are connected with a series of undersea tunnels. Just image the fabulous picture in your mind: walking in the undersea tunnel, surrounded by different kinds of fishes—the most famous Mantaray, turtles and sharks perhaps. The floating golf course project also includes construction of 1 conference center, 200 villas and 45 private islands, with a total budget of $ 500 million. It is expected to be completed by the year of 2015. Some people commented “It is like the scene appearing in the film ’water world’, but it is not a super-reality, it is just what is going to happen in the future.” The main energy for the whole project is solar energy for Maldives is quite close to the equator. What’s more, the technology of desalination and refrigeration will not exert any negative effect on the ecological system. One question is the use of course pesticides, which is inevitable for golf course building. Experts said that the would do their best to ensure the pesticides did not flow into the sea.
