Out: Mile-High Club. In: Mile-Below Club.

The Mile-High Club may be dead, but amorous, thrill-seeking travelers have a new frontier: 5,280 feet underwater. According to a London Times report, mini-submarines are the new airplane bathrooms. Tony Allen-Mills writes: “Manufacturers of some of the world’s most exclusive underwater conveyances are boasting of the sexual possibilities of submersible cabins equipped with ‘large panoramic viewports’ that allow exhibitionists to indulge their fantasies in front of an audience of dolphins and lobsters.”

Sex in front of lobsters? Really? Is that sexy? Or is the Mile-Below Club dead on arrival?

“Trying to associate undersea sex with the bygone allure of the Mile-High Club is kind of a stretch,” says Rolf Potts, who recently wrote The Death of the Mile-High Club for World Hum. “There might be some random, fetish-driven demographic that enjoys copulating in front of crustaceans, but I’d reckon it’s cheaper to just buy a fish tank and put it in your bedroom.”
