March 17, 2009 @ 3:17 pmThis is definitely photoshopped. I can tell because of the pixels.

Homer Jay said,
March 17, 2009 @ 3:56 pmThis is not the first Underwater restaurant.
Giminy you people believe anything. First it is on Rangon Island in Maldive at the Hilton- not Atlantis.
Secondly, Forbes Island is an underwater restaurant that has been around forever…but bot even they claim to be the first. However. at Forbes Island, the view is limited to portholes…not entirely cased in glass.
Don’t talk like you know shit if you don’t know shit.

Also, atlantis no longer exists jerkhead.

March 17, 2009 @ 4:42 pmDo they serve seafood? Somehow that just seems wrong.

March 17, 2009 @ 10:11 pmomg why does everybody have to assume that everything is photo shopped? at least take the time to look it up before you open your mouth. we have this really useful tool for researching. its called Google. use it dummy.
David said,
March 17, 2009 @ 10:26 pmThis is photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels and from seeing quite a few ‘shops in my time.
Pete said,
March 17, 2009 @ 10:46 pmcertainly not photoshopped, and I find it interesting how people are so quick to declare something as unauthentic just because it’s different and interesting. People should verify what they say before making it public. This is the major thing that really bothers me about the internet: it gives idiots the freedom to say whatever pops into their heads, and many people will believe them. For shame.
jonny rocket said,
March 17, 2009 @ 11:12 pmwow, somebody is good at photoshopping.

March 17, 2009 @ 11:16 pmDef photoshopped
You can see the bad cropping around the sting rays.

March 17, 2009 @ 11:26 pmI would eat at this restaurant in a second. It looks amazing!
Me said,
March 17, 2009 @ 11:41 pmI don’t think it’s shopped, but it’s definitely not Atlantis dipshit
Dante said,
March 18, 2009 @ 12:31 amNo, what would really be sweet is when the sharks come swimming ’round to eat some dinner… That’d be quite the show wouldn’t it?
Also… do you think they serve… seafood?

March 18, 2009 @ 12:44 amI would love to go here!
I Can't believe said,
March 18, 2009 @ 1:14 amAfter all this time people still don’t get the “photoshopped” joke. There’s an angry sucker on every board! haha I guess that’s why its still happening :O
Anonymouse said,
March 18, 2009 @ 1:44 amDude that is totally photoshopped. The walls of the restaurant have fish on them. That isn’t even possible. The pixels on the walls are way different from those in the rest of the picture. UR a noob at photoshop.
Michael said,
March 18, 2009 @ 2:06 amDo they serve fish DO HO HO!
why......... said,
March 18, 2009 @ 2:45 am…is it that for anything that seems a little different, people immediatly say it’s been photoshopped?
morons, not everything on the Internet is photoshopped.
altho… i find it funnier when something is obviously photoshopped (like it says so in the title, for example) and someone makes a comment like Phil’s there…
anyway… awesome restaurant
Photoshop Expert said,
March 18, 2009 @ 3:37 amThe comment above me is photoshopped. You can tell by the delution of the blend of pixels between the first and second sentences that it was clear not the original post.
Don’t question me, I’m an expert, and can make up stuff as I please.
Josh said,
March 18, 2009 @ 4:06 amabsolutely not photoshopped whatsoever…i happen to have a family member who visited this exact restaurant, and i have family pictures that can do more than prove it. and as far as the person who commented up there about how it cant be possible that the glass couldnt hold up to the depths that sting rays live in…you obviously have no idea whatsoever about sting rays at all. i live on the southwest coast of florida, and sting rays are more commonly found in shallow, tropical waters, frequenting more the 2-4 depths the waves break at more the the deeper depths the sand bars break off at. you make no sense at all, you damned retard.
Awesome. said,
March 18, 2009 @ 4:49 amWow… Most you should read, or at least glance at, the rest of the comments before posting the same exact thing as someone else.
Anyways, this reminds me of The Tank at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas.

It absolutely is photoshopped, you can tell because there is NO WAY that glass would hold up to the pressure exerted at the depths that sting rays live. Suck it.
Also, atlantis no longer exists jerkhead.
——————————————————–
yea… cause if u look closely at the pics the water is all of what… 20 foot… and a guy is STANDING on it… but you can see the surface so it can’t be “at a depth” that would break it… they make subs that go deep enough with glass fronts for deep sea dives with lights because you can’t see even in the day with the sun being diffused… a lil glass dome for a restaurant is absolutely easy…
as for sting rays… go here….
quoting from the page… i’m sure you can find others out there about the “depth” they live at… “If you happen to see a sting ray when you’re” STOPPING QUOTE FOR A MOMENT TO POINT OUT THE NEXT WORD… “wading,” because i **WADE** at depths deep enough to break glass “and it’s alert but lying in the sand, there’s one way to avoid getting hurt. It’s called the Stingray Shuffle. What you do when you see a stingray is to shuffle to the side. It’s almost like a slow sideways gallop. Also, be careful not to hurt them. They are a threatened species.”…. so hopefully i wouldn’t ever see anything of the like again from someone like george but i know… being on the internet…. i will….

March 18, 2009 @ 6:44 amIn reply to “georger March 17, 2009 @ 4:31 pm”
O some research dips**t. Having been to the Maldives many times i can assure you that rays don’t always go that deep.
I’ve stood on a beach feeding them before now, thats about a foot of water in case your not sure. So now who’s a ‘jerkhead’
Go photoshop yourself some friends>
ian said,
March 18, 2009 @ 8:43 amyou people need to realize that every time someone pops in and says “shopped” that they are just messing with you. you morons take this so seriously, you can’t tell when 20 people are pulling your chain. come on now, smile, and take the joke.
Emails said,
March 18, 2009 @ 9:55 amCool… great Restaurant… Where is it located????

spack said,
March 18, 2009 @ 6:06 pmwow this would be awesome if it weren’t so photoshopped. nice try, josh, i know you shopped this.
Gumbo said,
March 18, 2009 @ 6:27 pmI reckon some peoples sense of humour has been photo shopped. Lighten up guys and take the pickle out of your ass. I know it’s childish but hey…
Markchop said,
March 18, 2009 @ 6:44 pmI don’t understand how people don’t realize that photoshop is just a joke by now. Is it just a coincidence that everyone on the entire internet puts down: I can tell because of the pixels and I’ve seen quite a few ‘shops in my time.
Honestly. It’s a joke.
This is a really cool place, I would love to eat there. Stingrays fascinate me.
Expert said,
March 18, 2009 @ 6:45 pmThis is photoshopped- you can tell because of the pixels and unnatural shadows around the fish. Also, if you look closely you’ll see that the plates aren’t quite round enough to be real. Trust me, I’ve seen quite a few ‘shops in my time.

What? said,
March 18, 2009 @ 8:18 pmHaha on tropical beaches in some places your warned to do the sting ray shuffle because if you step on them they sting but if you bump into their side theyll just glide away.
Kyla said,
March 18, 2009 @ 9:01 pmSo funny that people still think it isn’t a real place. Took me 2 seconds to google it. Looks like a fabulous place. The menu is online as well. Sounds delicious. I think dining here would be an amazing experience and the rest of the resort looks lovely as well.
Kyla said,
March 18, 2009 @ 9:07 pmAnd why the name calling? There is no reason to be ugly to people. Breathe. Visit a resort, even if it is only online. Relax. You will live longer and be happier.
superpalo said,
March 18, 2009 @ 9:58 pmThis is so obviously photoshopped from a movie of two sea cucumbers wrestling over a low number ticket at the deli. Sorry to spoil it for everyone.
Oh People! said,
March 18, 2009 @ 10:24 pm2 weeks in photoshop (the program) you might get a result looking like the photos above, but good luck in trying that. These photos are real and most likely have been retouched to look there best. Many different sting rays are out there all living at different depths in the seas. Also in regards to the glass breaking- structural engineering.
Kira said,
March 18, 2009 @ 10:52 pmAre you freaking kidding me?
I think someone gets paid to go to EVERY SINGLE website and say that the photos are photoshopped.
Who CARES?
I personally KNOW it isn’t photoshopped, so suck it.
:)
aurelie said,
March 18, 2009 @ 11:45 pmguess what?
stingrays can also swim to shallow depths.
that is all.
photoshopped or not, stingrays don’t just inhabit deep waters.

March 19, 2009 @ 1:41 pmIf the glass, which is more than likely numerous layers of acrylic, “can’t possibly” withstand the tremendous pressures at what appears to be no more than 15-20 feet deep, you’d see more people wearing life-jackets at the aquarium…

Troll said,
March 19, 2009 @ 2:27 pmI think it’s ironic how the people who are getting conned by the photoshopped joke are calling everyone retards yet their grammar is absolutely terrible. I mean, come on, we’re all working professionals, aren’t we? Do we really have to give in to the conflagration that computer grammar has become?
What’s funny is this guy who seems to think he’s so internet savvy (“Enjoy your fail”), yet he was duped as well:
“Elijah said,

Troll said,
March 19, 2009 @ 2:30 pmBy the way, those pictures were definitely Photohopped. The reflections on the ‘glass’ walls are totally wrong. Where’s that woman’s arm? Plus how would they get the food down there? Obviously someone didn’t think through this the whole way…
Keith said,
March 19, 2009 @ 3:01 pmDavid, who obviously knows everything, is wrong. Better look a few more “shops”, cause you got it wrong lol.

Janne said,
March 19, 2009 @ 5:51 pmYeah great idea. All that murky water, rays and other weird fish gluing up the glass really get the customers’ appetite going. Who knows what kind of algae and coral attach themselves to the glass when they have NOT just cleaned it up to get a couple of decently representative photos. Did you think about that? No, you did not, idiots.
Underwater Restaurant Analyst said,
March 20, 2009 @ 3:31 amI’ve been an underwater restaurant analyst for many years and although there are restaurants similar to this one that do exist, the pictures above are definitely photoshopped.
Dan said,
March 20, 2009 @ 3:59 amWhat’s funnier? The people who haven’t begun to realise what the photoshop/pixels meme is or the people who are proving their intelligence by correcting the fact that the restaurant isn’t in the mythical city of atlantis :D. No Shit!
Photoshop Master said,
March 20, 2009 @ 4:35 amThis is definitely photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels and by having seen alot of stingrays in my time.

March 20, 2009 @ 12:08 pmI think it is particularly funny how nobody seems to realize it is THE EXACT SAME GUY SAYING HE EXACT SAME MESSAGE about it being photoshopped. he just uses different names. and then not even the first time. This is rather pathetic….
lovely restaurant though, perhaps I’ll visit one day….
Dobson said,
March 20, 2009 @ 2:17 pmActually Jade, I think you’ll find it’s the hivemind.
with so many people saying it’s a shop, how can they be wrong?
I personally know this is a shop, I visited it once and took the measurements, and they were much too unrealistic to be real, therefore they must have been ‘shopped.
Mar Vin deMartian said,

March 21, 2009 @ 3:34 amLOL it’s retarded how ppl still keep responding to the photoshop joke comments. It’s an internet phenomenon called “trolling” people, look it up. The internet gets stupider everyday. Nice place though, would love to visit someday.
wiwiq said,
March 21, 2009 @ 7:27 amis it sounds so funny if we eat food that live around us, staring at us and think like this way: look at the food, its inside the glass…
btw the view make motion sickness too..
PPL Are stupid said,
March 21, 2009 @ 11:54 amOK ppl, The photos above are probably very well photo shopped. Its called ADVERTISEMENT!!!!! The pics above are of a real place! Nowadays, these pics are cleaned up to make the colors sharper, and are made to look all the more inviting. Did you ppl actually think when you look through a magazine the models really look the way they do? The pics have been taken of them and then photo shopped to look even better!
PPL as a group make me sad bc of their stupidity.
Stuart said,
March 21, 2009 @ 7:34 pmI’ve eaten here on a holiday last October… it’s VERY real and in the Maldives at the Hilton resort. No kids allowed and it’s much smaller than it looks.. damn expensive too… you can easily blow $500 on a meal for 2.
Those idiots who think this is a photoshopped image should actually wake up and visit the resort website.

have you never seen stingrays close to shore. I was walking along beach one day and a huge stingray swam past me in knee deep water!!!! So I don’t believe it is photo shopped at all

March 22, 2009 @ 7:53 pmThe ‘joke’ if there is one is on anybody who called ‘photoshopped’ and afterwards tried to wriggle out of the goof by claiming it was all just a joke…
We believe you, of course you didn’t mean it, yeah, sure, it was a joke all along….
I bet you’re real popular with the ladies too and the men are all afraid of you.
WTF GUYS said,
March 22, 2009 @ 11:46 pmseriously. some of you photoshop nerdz need to shut up
who even cares if it’s photoshopped. when you say “ive seen many a photoshopped picture in my time.” and “it’s all about the PIXELS! GODDAMNIT THE PIXELS ARE OFF!” ever heard of a shitty camera.
you dont sound smart. you sound like a**holes who just lost their pocket protectors at a starwars convention. just let the lovely naive people believe! they have more friends than you
Word McKeinzie said,
March 23, 2009 @ 3:45 amThis is most definitely photoshopped. I know cause I’ve seen quite a few shops in my time as I am the Head Editor of TIME Magazine.You can tell by the difference in the water color in the different pictures and by the reflections on the glass disappearing in some pictures. Also, the difference in the pixels are truly atrocious. Such amateur work.

March 23, 2009 @ 7:36 amyes boytoy… i wish your mom, dad, love of your life and kids were in that restaurant when the glass breaks and smashes into your family instantly killing them. yes boytoy, you’re so right, it would be hilarious! i am laughing now. laughing. so hard. hilarious.
(moron!)
Kail said,
March 23, 2009 @ 7:49 amI think that the time it must have taken to photo shop this picture is amazing. I mean, at first I couldn’t really tell until I saw the woman’s face in the fifth picture; the use of stingrays, wow. I honestly think that this is the best piece of ‘shop’ art I have seen in a long time <3

Chase said,
March 23, 2009 @ 1:42 pmCan I just say that photoshopping does not mean that something is not real, only that it has been altered most professional journalist photoshop most of their pictures and that does not mean that everything in the news isn’t real it just looks better. And I think this is actually computer simulated video/an architecture program, Maya maybe.
If you look there’s a video at this website (http://sea-quest.blogspot.com/) and also some other underwater architecture ideas. HOWEVER, IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE SOMETHING COMPUTER SIMULATED DON’T GO!!!!!! It fucking sucks to read a whole conversation about if the pictures real or fake, talk about the IDEA not the reality.
So, in what would have been my one sentence comment about the pictures: I think it would be possible and my guess would they use thick plastic not glass to make it.
I Don´t Cow said,
March 23, 2009 @ 2:43 pmI have eaten in this place two years from now. I was stunned when I will walk in. Never before have I been in a place so shopped. In my country I also have see many shops, but none like the one being discussed in this venerable web community.
I think it would be unfair to punish the people who believe this place not shopped. They are ignorant. They know not what they say. I say Peace to you my brothers, sisters, shop-ers and nu-uh-no-shoppers alike. (for me it is not a question because I was there and it was shopped. They were shopping it the day I was there. They let me help. I held the shopper. Do you understand….it´s shopped!) Happy Monday, Freaks.

Oh, so that square plate I was eating off of the other night must have been shopped too… jeez, I didn’t know shoppers could affect real life too!!

March 23, 2009 @ 7:27 pmTo the moron who said there was no way the glass could hold that much pressure, first off its barely under the water by a couple of feet at most. Sting rays do not stay hundreds of feet under the water. And second, ever been to the aquarium you moron, glass all around, deep water, no horrible accidents of glass breaking. Use your fucking head sometimes people
boytoy is a moron said,

Trolls are dumb said,
March 24, 2009 @ 6:53 amDon’t listen to the people saying it is photoshoped. Those people are called trolls, the whole reason they make those comments is to get others to argue. It is the whole point to their existence on the internet. Ignore them on anything you do because they will always be around and always say stupid and random things to get other people pissed off.
P.S. I still don’t understand how people don’t know this by now while going through picture/video blogs all over the internet.
Mom Expert said,

March 26, 2009 @ 10:51 ampeople that keep spewing their profound knowledge about these underwater restaurants, and the fact that those people are calling everyone else idiots, are the reasons for other people continuing the photoshopped joke. it’s fun to mock arrogant assholes

March 26, 2009 @ 8:03 pmGuys, just because its an awesome picture doesnt mean its photoshopped. Stop being such huge tools and learn to appreciate the different things in life. And maybe the fact that you know a lot about photoshopping says something about your life style. Go outside.

U all are dumb-nuts said,
March 27, 2009 @ 3:09 pmIf they have glass that can hold the weight of a bowing 747 they for sure can make glass that can withstand the pressure from that water.
And the place is real. No photoshop. Its the real stuff

Polarbear said,
March 27, 2009 @ 11:11 pmIt’s not a photoshopped… it’s a restaurant is called Ithaa in Conrad Maldives Rangali Island.
It’s part of the Hilton Hotels chain. Here’s the link… you can even look at the menu

Y’all got Rick Shopped bitches!!
Ps worst ‘shop in history, you should check out the new underwater restaurant on the moon, definitely real, just Google it. Prices are much more reasonable.
Ralph said,
March 29, 2009 @ 9:44 pmThis is shopped. It is impossible for people to be underwater in glass. Glass can’t hold water. Also the existence of sharks in the water? Come on. Everyone knows that sharks don’t go near people. It is obviously a restaurant with cool wallpaper. The shopping was changing the picture in each frame. To make it appear underwater. How do I know this? I am a photoshop major at Slippery Rock University.
Mike said,
March 30, 2009 @ 12:24 amThis place is similar to places like Kelly Tarlton’s in Auckland, where you can view fish, sharks, eels and stingrays from a 110 metre travelator enclosed in a transparent tube. This is built in a former sewer tank (very big). The ‘glass’ people refer to is acrylic. At Kelly Tarlton’s it is 7 centimetres thick (about 3 inches). The photos show the sea surface to be just above the top of the dome. To keep the fish around the restaurant they may have automatic feeding to keep them there. Or perhaps the light underwater attracts them. http://www.kellytarltons.co.nz/aquarium-attraction-sharks-penguins/45/Underwater+World.aspx

AmerginCC said,
March 31, 2009 @ 11:04 pmPhotoshopped…I can tell by the pixels, the fish, the people, and by reading the cosmic waves flowing off of the picture.
Damn some of you guys are gullible. It’s a good thing the word “gullible” doesn’t exist in the dictionary.
Joe said,
April 1, 2009 @ 7:07 pm54min too early, AmerginCC. But the pic is definitely photoshopped: the pixelation around the fish and stingray is evident at a high degree of magnification is evident even to beginners. But I am an expert on photoshopping and I have seen a whole lot of photoshopped pics before. This is obviously photoshopped and anyone who says that it is not photoshopped or that they have “visited this place before” is lying through their teeth- they know that it was poorly photoshopped but are too annoying to admit it.
dee said,
April 8, 2009 @ 11:33 pmThe moron above me is too annoying to admit that he’s wrong. That’s not shopped… Pay attention to the reflections. and People, the glass is BARELY underwater, and yes, thick glass can hold up to that minuscule pressure. It’s a real restaurant, geez. Expert at photoshopping my ass… I can tell a shopped pic when i see one, no matter how good it is, because if you’re not ignorant enough, you can tell “something” isn’t right with the picture. Anyone knows a shopped photo when they see one. This aint.
dee said,
April 8, 2009 @ 11:36 pmOh, yeah.. It’s also called “not a high-quality camera”… Geniuses.
kenoko said,
April 10, 2009 @ 4:03 pmif all of you notice, a camera took these pics, so of course, it will be pixilated AND its not photoshoped, it is the first underwater restraunt because this one actually goes under water, not just some stupid fish tanks inside the place, and stingrays do come up that high and the glass can not break because it was made for certain pressures, at least I’M smart enough to REALIZE that.and the fith picture shows the waitress looking at the fish with the people and at the far right theres a woman with a camera taking a picture

Gemma said,
April 14, 2009 @ 9:35 pmIf you are SOOO experienced at Photoshop you will know that when a photo is compressed such as jpegs (as these are) they increase contrast around where light and dark areas meet. “Ooooh – I can tell by the pixels” LOL!
Was this video photoshopped too?

April 15, 2009 @ 7:23 amDoes anyone else think it would be really funny to see someone get rejected in this place? Like a marriage proposal or getting dumped? Can you just walk out or are you stuck there for the entire seating? That would be wicked funny to see!!!!
AmerginCC said,
April 16, 2009 @ 10:02 pm@cj: Look around you man…this meme will live on as long as there are people stupid enough to take it as seriously as some of the people here are.
By the way, I shooped your mom.

J.C. said,
April 23, 2009 @ 11:21 amVideo or it didn’t happen or photoshopped.
fok used said,
May 5, 2009 @ 5:56 amYes, this *REALLY IS* photoshopped. The restaurant is actually on a sandy beach and the view is projected on the walls. But since you can not photogpraph pixels projected digitally, they photoshopped the images to be used in the ads. That is why some people think this is real, when you can *clearly* see that is a ‘shop by looking at the pixels.

Barney Katz said,
May 7, 2009 @ 3:44 amAll of this reminds me of a radio personality, whose name escapes me at the moment, who used his own voice to impersonate “experts on his show who offered ridiculous and shocking opinions like “All people of color should be sent back to Africa”, hoping that listeners who weren’t in on the joke would call in to express their outrage on the air while the rest of the audience who were in on joke laughed at the absolute stupidity of the enraged callers who actually believed that the “expert” with the funny voice was real.
All the people here claiming the photos are photoshopped fakes know that’s not true because a long time ago they clicked the links provided and discovered the restaurant is real. When claiming the photos are shopped, they’re just pulling the chain of unsuspecting visitors who think the comments are misguided but sincere, much like the radio personality who tricked the callers. In spite of all the attempts here to point this out, amazingly there are still people out there who get worked up every time they see “photoshopped”, calling the posters morons and idiots without suspecting at any point that the joke is on them and I suppose this prank will continue forever, here and elsewhere, until the day arrives when everybody recognizes what’s actually happening. Judging from the unending number of callers who fell for the “expert” prank, that day will probably never come.
The irony here is, as several commentators have already pointed out, if the photos were taken by a professional photographer, Photoshop or other software was probably used to clean up and enhance the photos before publication so technically it would be somewhat accurate to state they’ve been photoshopped.
Ally said,
May 7, 2009 @ 1:48 pmwow you are all dumbasses. why do people need to tear appart and critisize every little bit of beauty in this world just because they were not a part of it? get over yourselves, who cares what the specific name of it is? its freakin cool. who cares if it is photoshopped or not? just enjoy it! i don’t care if you’ve “done your share of photoshops” you probably are a 40 year old fat guy who still lives with your mom and plays video games all day. i would love to eat there and hell, id love to eat seafood there! god damn arrogant people.
Barney Katz said,
May 8, 2009 @ 4:42 pmHello, Ally. This is Barney Katz responding to your message
How dare you call video gamers like me dumb asses when you can’t spell or use proper punctuation even though a spell checker is right in front of you? Do you think the red squiggly line that appears when a word is misspelled is there to highlight the word to make it stand out more clearly or haven’t you learned yet how to use the right-click button? Also, how can you eat seafood at that restaurant when you don’t even know the location of the Maldives, let alone how to get there?
It DOES matter that those photos are photoshopped because I know well the photographer who altered those photos. That man earns his living using that excellent American product. Don’t you know that man altered the images to trick dumb asses like you into thinking they’re cool when in fact the photos were taken at Sea World in San Diego to imitate the restaurant in the Maldives because it costs too much to fly there? That photographer paid $400 for Photoshop which is very important for our economy. Do you realize how many American jobs would be lost if people stopped buying Photoshop and the video games you poke fun at? Instead of flying to a foreign country to eat seafood at that restaurant, you should stay here in America and spend your money on American products like Photoshop! Haven’t you ever heard the advice, “Buy American”? After paying for your airfare and hotel room, you’d be spending almost $2,000 for that seafood dinner in the Maldives that you crave so much. What a waste of money! What does it tell us about your values when you want to spend all that money overseas just to fill your belly? I suspect you’ve spent more time under water than that restaurant.
OK, so I do live with my mother even though I’m 54 years old but see needs me, God Damn it! You probably stuck your mother and father into the cheapest nursing home you could find. How dare you do that when they brought you into this world, raised you and sent you to the best schools like Harvard, Yale or Slippery Rock?
I hope you do respond to my message, assuming of course you can find your way back to this website. OK, I admit to being arrogant but at least I can find The Maldives on a map! I’m willing to wager you don’t even know what section of the Caribbean the Maldives are in.

May 12, 2009 @ 6:46 pmI love that StumbleUpon gives me hours more entertainment in reading comment sections than actual blog posts. Although technically, as you should know, StumbleUpon ought to be called StumbleuShopped, because the majority of the sites it leads stumblers to aren’t even real blogs. They’re just the stumble homepage that’s been ‘shopped to look like a blog. As for these photos, well don’t even get me started.I know the chick that shopped these and she was HIGH. I mean she was so blazed she didn’t know what the hell she was doing, which explains the serious misalignment of those troublesome pixels.
She would have gotten away with it as well if it weren’t for those pesky trolls.

It may be photoshopped, or not the first underwater restaurant, but it would be awesome to go there.
Ridiculous much? said,
May 20, 2009 @ 7:21 pmOh my gosh, guys, seriously? Are you guys seriously having a gigantic comment argument about whether or not a picture is photoshopped?
You guys are RE-TAR-DED.
It’s a freakin picture.
You could just as easily GOOGLE IT and find out if it’s real or not!
Look at the resort website, you idiots.
And use proper grammar. No one wants to read, “omfg guyz this is totaly shopperd cuz you guys are freaking a**holes geez its the PIXELS OMG THE PIXELS AND THE STINGRAYS!!!!!!”
wtf?
Ridiculous.
You guys have way too much free time.
Oh, and THE PIXELS OMFG THE PIXELS!!!

May 31, 2009 @ 9:43 amIt is a real place, unfortunatelly not on this planet, or dimension, so they have to photoshop it for us to be able to see it.

June 15, 2009 @ 2:42 pmOkay seriously people? All the enjoyment is taken away from these pictures with you jackasses who constantly bitch about how things are photoshopped.IT’S NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. Go find a better hobby than complaining about things that other people find to be cool and unique. It’s not some botched picture, it actually exists. And if one more of you crank about how you ‘know photoshop because of the pixels’ and la de da, I will punch you in the face. …Interweb style…

TurboPunz said,
August 9, 2009 @ 11:35 pmHaha, if it wasn’t for the massive amounts of money it would take to go there, I’d eat there at my next birthday. But, Sadly, it’d probably cost over $10,000 to fly 8 people out there, not to mention hotel costs, plus the jacked up prices of the food due to it’s claim “The only Glass-Domed underwater restaurant in the world”
Sheez, that’s a LOT of money for a 15th Birthday party.
Phake Pharton said,

people said,
August 24, 2009 @ 9:59 amlook people this is not photoshopped.. you say because of how many pixels are there.. how about a nice professional 14megapixel single lens reflex camera, if they can afford to build the place surely they can afford to hire a good photographer with a flashy camera.. i’d eat there.. doubt i could afford it though.. looks pricey
ppoopp said,
September 7, 2009 @ 3:47 amomg…. its not a shop… and its not made of glass…. its acrylic.. and anyone who says its a fake or shoped is a idiot and they dont know what they are talking about..
but anyway… i would love to see they menu :D
Phil said,
November 14, 2009 @ 1:27 amthis picture is 100% ‘Shopped. First of all it’s named Ithaa, someone must have ‘Shopped in an extra A in the name.
Also, it’s in Atlantis, which everyone knows doesn’t exist. Therefore, it’s shopped.
Additionally, some sting rays walk upright and have mustaches. So they could easily walk into this restaurant and eat everyone. NOM NOM NOM.
