What better place for a cosy vacation than the icy depths of the abyss?Secret Affairs: Stepmother Friend’s Mom Daughter in law

Well, now they've teamed up with Airbnb so you can spend three days and two nights on the Alucia -- the research vessel featured in the series -- and even go down in one of the submersibles.
"You’ll dive deep beneath the waves aboard one of the two submersibles on the ship, the TRITON 3300/3 or the Deep Rover, crafts well equipped for marine science research, shipwreck reconnaissance, and undersea videography," reads the AirBnb description.
"Highly manoeuvrable, able to withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure, and with almost 360 degree views, this is light years beyond the average vacation snorkel."
Unfortunately you can't just book on to stay on the ship willy-nilly, there is an element of competition. To be in with a chance to stay in the Alucia, participants must write an entry between 50 and 550 characters that answers the question:
“You don’t need to be an astronaut to discover a new world. Our oceans are teeming with bizarre species and dramatic, alien-like landscapes. Tell us about your ideal deep sea adventure--what do you dream of exploring beneath the waves?”
The vessel will be in the Bahamas, specifically Cape Eleuthera -- and be aware, the vessel has a set of "house rules" by which to abide:
- No skinny dipping. You never know when the fish might be watching.
- Avoid watching Jaws or The Abyss before your trip.
- No sleepwalking or night swimming.
- No selfies with the deep sea creatures.
- No fishing--we don’t eat our research subjects.
- Leave the high heels and tie pins at home--this is a research vessel, not a cruise ship.
- The Alucia is manned by an English-speaking crew, and all safety briefings will be in English, so all entrants to this competition must be fluent in English. Please submit answers to the competition question in English only.
So best to shelve those ambitions of getting that nude selfie with a giant squid. Still a pretty cool opportunity though.
