“When I’m gone I want to be in the water with the fish.”

Gary Levine, 58, who used to build docks and seawalls is shelling out $10 million to build this underwater cemetery and scuba attraction. Located 3 miles off the coast of Key Biscayne, Fla., Atlantis Memorial Reef is scheduled to open in July and eventually hold the remains of up to 80,000 people whose families are willing to pay between $900 (for the El Cheapo plot) and $50,000 (The Family Plan).

Once complete, the site will span 15 acres of ocean floor and consist of five concentric circles, based loosely on an account of Atlantis in Plato’s dialogue Timaeus. It will contain 40 themed sections, including love, education, the military and the zodiac, all overseen by a bronze display of winged lions and three dolphins pulling a chariot of the Greek sea god, Poseidon.

What you won’t find are busts of men’s wives, diamond eyeballs or German shephard statues. I guess everybody’s got their limits.
