Nassau, Bahamas

'The Dig' is a series of aquariums located beneath the lobby of the Royal Towers (one group of hotel towaers at the resort), and is the world's largest open air marine habitat. Hundreds of different aquatic species can be found in the Dig's various tanks such as angelfish, sharks, manta rays, and various types of jellyfish.

The goal of The Dig is to provide guests with a taste of life in legendary Atlantis. Interestingly, if one observes the bottom of the floors in the different aquariums, wreckage and debris will be scattered about representing lost artifacts from "Atlantis."

There is also a 'Predator Lagoon,' which is full of sharks, barracudas, and stingrays. A 100-foot clear acrylic tunnel runs underwater, allowing visitor unobstructed view of the marine environment.
