Re: Only in Dubai! Is this for real
Is there even much to see underwater in Dubai? Which then brings up the point: why build a tennis court underwater if the scenery is ho-hum. If it is beautifull underwater (coral, lots of fishes etc..) such a project will destroy all that.

Considering the article is nearly a year old, and came from an architect in Warsaw who "admitted he had yet to source potential investors to launch the proposal.", I guess this can be written off.

Had Mr. Krzysztof Kotala proposed an underwater brothel it may have gained more traction. A tennis court would never had worked.

Quite surprised they haven't announced plans over here to build an underwater football stadium yet...

Re: Only in Dubai! Is this for real
There's bugger-all to see underwater in Dubai. All the offshore construction over the last 15 years put paid to that. If you want decent snorkelling or diving, you have to go over to the east coast.
