There are plans in the works to build a new underwater hotel in the Bahamas in the near future so people can watch the fish swim by during their stay. This idea could be taken one step further and create bubble rooms that would be dropped off by cruise ships on their way out and picked up on their way back. These self-contained rooms could be lowered to anywhere from 1 foot to 200 feet according the renter's whim. A collision-avoidance computer on board would automatically take them to a depth that put them far below any ship which happened to be coming their way. (It would also force them to the surface when the cruise ship returned to make their retrieval easier.)

If I could put rooms in a bottle http://www.jul.com/mid.html
I'd save them to spend them with you. [Zimmy, Feb 15 2005]

I hope the tour operators don't go out of business while I'm down there!

200 feet below the surface? How are you going to maintain air pressure? If you pump them up to maintain pressure at depth then you'll need around 32 hours decompression time, from 200 feet, after 24 hours at that depth.

The alternative is a bathysphere / submarine. Do you intend your guests be allowed diving excursions?

Agnes, I think I just saw the Pope swim past.

Aren't all rooms self-contained?

squeak - Not to the point where they'd keep water from seeping in under the door.
