Jules' Undersea Lodge full walk through
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- My dive buddy and I got to spend 24 hours overnight in an underwater habitat in Key Largo, FL at 21 feet! This is technically a saturation dive, which not many recreational divers will ever get the chance to do - extremely cool!!
This "hotel" was originally an underwater research facility off the coast of Puerto Rico, which was used to research the effects of saturation diving on the human body. The same owner dragged it back to Key Largo after retiring it, and renovated it for use by the public. Check out this link for more info: www.jul.com/Abo...
I couldn't find any good walk throughs of the lodge before travelling down to stay there, so I decided to make one myself when I was there. Enjoy, and feel free to ask any questions!
looks pretty hot in there, you should open a window
Lol that will cool it down
@@coreyjones6320 water cooled
Hahahahaha
Samuel Moon I can make a meme out if that hold on
Me: opens the window for fresh air
Everyone in the undersea hotel: 👁👄👁
Water cooled hotel please (:
Man, that's some murky green water. No reef, no colorful fish, just... murk.
It looks cool though
That's because it's real and not just an aquarium with a room build on to it
@@nicnaknoc Certainly real, but also poorly placed. There are better locations only a few miles away, but it might be that environmental regulations restrict where the habitat could be parked.
Also it wasn’t first meant to be a hotel, so they weren’t thinking of the view when they built the research lab
@@r0cketplumber bruh it’s in key largo . plenty of cool stuff out there
Doesn't look appealing to sleep in....ill stick with the pizza
Lucky uh
They made subnautica into a real thing
Thanks for the nightmares
Lol awesome comment! I love that game!
@@tokillamurderer it really is a great game
Subnautica is terrifying
@@potatomarf2908 I don’t see no ghost leviathan or reaper so I think we’re good
This looks both cool and terrifying
for 1000 bucks a night they couldnt clean and update the interior since the 1980s?
Truly looks like an underwater jailhouse, it’s underwater and they can’t manage to clean 😭
It might not be a $1000 underwater room in a Maldives' hotel, but it gets the under-the-sea life experience right.
I remember seeing this place on the strangest or oddet hotel video tops. out of all of them this was my favorite and id love to go there
Totally worth checking out!
Pretty cool experience! I'd love to check it out one day, although I have a feeling I might hyperventilate from claustrophobia. Question: is the water always that murky? It would be so cool to stay in one of these, but out near the reef.
I highly, highly recommend it! Not many people in the world can say they stayed overnight in an ex-underwater research facility!
Yes, the water is always that murky, unfortunately. It's a little freaky when you first descend to the habitat, it just kind of appears out of nowhere. It is very warm though. It is a lagoon, and is protected from the surrounding water by a huge barrier. The bottom is very silty, and that silt pretty much destroys the visibility. All of that being said, though, you are there for the experience of staying underwater for 24 hours, not the view :-P
Holy Jesus man. That should be so interesting and amazing experience.
-im cumming from OGUZSASI btw-
It was absolutely amazing! More videos to come, I've just been slowly editing them.
Lord Khyréss Oh cool! Was my video shared on one of his channels?
Yeah dude, he is making interesting videos about everything especially science and he was linking your video and i found your channel from his video. ruclips.net/video/SXiHlD41JBs/видео.html . And also I will wait until you upload new videos, thanks! (btw he is a lil bit crazy but we love him xD)
Lord Khyréss haha, I noticed! Right on man, that's very cool! I appreciate you coming over to watch :-) more videos will be a little bit of a wait, but I have tons of footage from that trip, and a flooded missile silo dive coming as well!
It looks awful. It's like underwater coffin. Awful ghetto looking amenities, no thanks.
i love pink roses
Agreed ... has no eye appeal or esthetic beauty.
It is an ex-underwater research facility. Not the Ritz.
It’s a underwater hotel what do you expect
Tf you expect something underwater that's been something else to look like ya old jank hag
@@CosmicTruthTeller you spelled aesthetic wrong.
Thank you sir for show this to us
it is not a hotel. it is a prison.
Lose the unwashed curtains that have been hanging for 30 years and paint. All the bedding should be crisp clean white. I know it’s underwater, but it’s still something people paying for. Should be clean, white and no old pillows that can’t be washed. All bedding including topper should be washed and cleaned before every use. White should always be used. Just thinking the walls could use a refresher and bathroom. Just because under water, doesn't mean it can’t be updated. And the humming of the lights is enough to not stat there. Cool to look at, but not to stay long or sleep in. Just try to make it cozy, not like a jail. Does it all get cleaned after a use? Doesn’t seem so.
You must be a BLAST to hang out with!
Go stay at the Hilton you dingbat its obviously not for you
Damn,didn't know in my life I could feel like playing the first Bioshock.
Thank you so much🙏🙏 I was looking for a tutorial on how to beat this game! That final boss was pretty difficult, same with the chase scene right after!
Whoa 😍 I gotta share this Video to my Fam in Miami, Thx Bro ✌
You're very welcome :-)
Looks awesome. The actual experience sounds like camping at Catalina, but, ya'know, under water. I would like to see it at night. I wonder if that would be cooler looking.
I’ve always wanted to visit!
Do it! You won't regret it! I can't wait to go back!
@@tokillamurderer Wow!! I think I will. Do you just snorkel/dive down there? It’s a pretty short dive, isn’t it?
@@Dominiqueuqinimod you dive down. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to dive from the entry point to the moon pool entrance to the habitat. You can dive around the whole lagoon though, which takes something like 10-20 mins to encircle, depending on speed. You can also check out the exterior of the habitat, as well as a second habitat/lab that is down there. There are some interesting pieces of equipment scattered around too. Lots to see!
... Come to the think of it... You could probably flood that thing by using just a garden hose to let the air escape.
Yeah, you're probably right
It’s scary it kind of remind me of 50 feet underwater! Like it’s a set up 😅 I got anxiety watching🫣
Do you have to do a safety stop when you leave? I mean you are in a compressed atmosphere for a day? I was just down there a couple weeks ago and got to pop up in the moon pool, but did not stay in the lodge. Daughter was doing certification dives.
MrShadowpanther3 Nope, no safety stop needed. You're shallow the whole time.
While I did not bury my gauge in the mud, the lagoon looked to max out around 25 feet or so. We had a LOT of other dive groups ahead of us so visibility was ... challenging. What is in the red cabinet in the Kitchen?
MrShadowpanther3 I honestly don't remember exactly, just a decoration. Fake jewelry maybe? The visibility in the lagoon was terrible no matter what, even with no one else in the water.
@@MrShadowpanther3 "What is in the red cabinet in the Kitchen?"
Launch keys for the Polaris missiles. ;-)
Oh my God that looks like a dump!. They'd have to pay me to stay there
Yes! Gross! I would not be staying there and I could care less if it has fish you can see outside of a dirty window
Wait so if you want your kids to go they have to hold there breath or wear oxygen mask?
I'm not sure if kids can go. It is a saturation dive, it isn't as simple as just going. You can't just hold your breath and then stay down there, because you are breathing compressed air at depth.
@@tokillamurderer ohh okay
Jesus that looks horrendous
How would one get inside and out the hotel
I think you have to put on gear and dive down
Free dive or scuba dive
You scuba dive down, and enter through the moon pool shown in the video. You COULD free dive down, as shown in my video "Underwater Pizza Delivery", but you couldn't stay long. You are breathing compressed air at depth, just like when you scuba dive, and the nitrogen slowly saturates your tissues as you stay down, also like when scuba diving. If you free dive down, you have a short window before there is too much nitrogen in your tissues, and it would come out of solution way too fast when you surface (also known as the bends). So, if you are staying down there, you scuba dive, and surface SLOWLY when you're done.
@@tokillamurderer tunnel
@@jameer8225 no
For a school trip I got to vist this marine lab and for the swim test we got to swim in this lagoon. I Actually went down and looked through the window even thought it hurt my ears lol
Do they put two groups down there for the two rooms or is it just one group? That seems awfully close to be next to another party.
You can rent one room and risk it, or rent the whole thing like I did and have it all to yourself.
I would totally move myself to Key Largo just to be a bellhop at this place!
does it have wifi though?
that's the most important question am i right
@@NoFallToggled highly! When you're underwater in a hotel it's unlike others where the trip is for going to other places, it's about the experience of being underwater and that will wear off over time and you'll get bored especially if the window is murky like here.
Javier Powell yea lol
@@javierpowell4705 yes, there is wifi, lol. The underwater experience definitely does not wear off. You're only down there for 24 hours at the most. It is very much all about the underwater experience for those full 24 hours. But yes, there is wifi and a landline phone as well. And movies.
Hi
Not bad but the decore really needs some remodeling. Some of it looks like it’s from the 80s
I'm sure it is! It is a "hotel" in the very loosest of terms. It is an ex-underwater research facility that was moved to Key Largo and retrofitted to be a tourist attraction. It serves its purpose extremely well!
Oğuzsasssiii!! Helal laooo
AS BAYRAKLARRRIIIOOOOUUGGGGGGGG
Oğuz sasi lo
Somewheeeeere beyond the sea ...
How can they clean this place
Apparently they don't. Looks nasty
They don't - didn't you see the pictures?
That looks like no fun
Perfect for a horror movie😬
I want to live there 😭
2:34 .... Is nobody going to talk about the guy who's just standing there absolutely still. And says absolutely nothing.... Then vanished the reappears
They lock the thermostat in a hotel room that you're paying for? Absolutely not. 68 degrees is what I require
Wonder if building Rapture would be possible if this exists.
Does it feel claustrophobic
If you don't like confined spaces, a small capsule buried beneath the surface of the ocean may not be for you. Otherwise, it didn't make me feel claustrophobic at all.
Definitely gives me found footage horror movie vibes 👌🏿👌🏿
Reminds me of rusty lake : caves
Awesome! Do you have to scuba dive to get to it? Do you have a link to where somebody can book a stay there? thank you!
Jul.com is their website. I don't know if they require scuba to get to it, but probably. You could definitely free dive to get to it, but the longer you stay down there, the longer you're breathing compressed gas at depth, and you need to decompress on the way up, which you can't do without a cylinder.
@@tokillamurderer I was wondering about a decompression stop/s on the way up. It’s only 30 feet down (?) but I’m guessing staying there overnight will saturate your blood 🤷♂️
@@GoVols2015 correct. It's still shallow, so you just come up slowly by doing a leisurely dive around the lagoon, and decompress the rest of the day without flying. The big thing with free diving down would be breathing compressed air and then coming up in the short amount of time you can hold your breath for.
This looks like shit if you're coming from the Maldives video
Yeah no fish no modern... look guys its very dificult to mantain this motel the main thing is to sleep under water not modernize this hotel cool is cool
It needs a huge stylistic/design upgrade.
I respectfully disagree. It was a research lab. If you're paying for this particular experience, you're paying for exactly what you see, an underwater habitat that represents underwater research in a way that's unique to scuba divers, the audience for this particular place.
I remember this on pmk
I wonder what would happen if someone decide do stupid thing open hatch above.
It is bolted and welded shut.
Interesting but pretty gross lol
The only reason I would ever go to Florida
neat idea, but my claustraphobia set in just watching this.
That looks very nasty and unclean. That toilet would give me nightmares! I am already traumatized just by this video! I could not look at the entire thing.
I am not sure if you will see this but I have to ask - if you are not a diver, can you still go down into the lodge? You said in one comment that they use elevators to get the food down. I just want to rent an hour and order a pizza.
I never said anything about elevators. There is no way to get there without going through the water. I don't know if they will let people free dive down. Their employees free dive to get in (this is how they get the food down - in Pelican boxes - I have a video on this, too), but they are free divers. You'd have to call and ask them if they'd let you do that. And then you'd have to be comfortable holding your breath for long enough to get down 24+ feet and search around for the entrance. Otherwise, yes, you have to dive down. Definitely no elevators.
*Ebeth K* I don't think free diving is allowed, because you're breathing compressed gas for an extended period of time when you're in the habitat, so you must breath continuously when slowly returning to the surface to prevent an embolism or other barotrauma. If you are not already a certified diver you must take their introduction to scuba class first, which currently (May 2020) costs $115.
2D in plastic beach be like:
I don’t understand what the big fuss is all about. People in solitary confinement prison, live and survive in much worse conditions for years on end….
Is there free internet down there?
Lol, yes.
people pay for this?
I certainly would!
No just like everything else in life it's 100% free of charge. The experience is payment enough.
@@thebikewatcher9819 As a person that doesn't like confined spaces, this looks like a nightmare, also, it looks very cheap and dirty
@@tuanoful cool, to each their own.
LOL - they have to be on crack!
How u get to the jules? With boat or diving?
[GD] ottothegamer you dive off a dock. It takes about a minute to get there from the dock.
Like sea castle in horizons
Speak!
How much does it cost???
jul.com/Rates.html
675 a night for a single person
Delirium 675
I would not do it for free!
Miaou
Sasiiii
Not for me!
There would be no spiders :D
why would anyone put carpet anywhere? it’s ugly and a dirt magnet
That looks like it just stank
Claustrofóbica 😮
Bahahaha.... My longest time under was 92 days!!
Subnautica IRL
YES!
Looks worse than jail tbh
What a god awful noise 😢
Fucking eewww they could have kept this shit 😒
My biggest nightmare
Here from ddoi?
ATLANTIS be like:
Worst hotel ever. Looks like the inside of a submarine. Lol
Bioshock
Looks gross af. They’re trying to copy the Conrad Maldives Rangali islands underwater hotel
Geonotian Battle Droid looks way more dangerous
It really isn't trying to "copy" anything. It isn't even really a hotel. It is an old retired research habitat that they repurposed as a tourist attraction. Very minimalistic, and very, very cool if you're into it.
How do you get air!,?!
There is an umbilical from the surface that pumps compressed air into the habitat, along with filtration systems, water, and electrical.
