Everything about Glass-bottom Boat totally explained
A
glass bottom boat is a
boat with sections of
glass (or other suitable
transparent material) below the waterline allowing passengers to observe the underwater environment from within the boat. The view through the glass bottom is better than simply looking into the water from above, because one doesn't have to look through
optically erratic surface disturbances. The effect is similar to that achieved by a
diving mask, while the passengers are able to stay dry, out of the water.
Use
Glass bottom boats are used almost exclusively for giving tours, as they're usually designed to allow the maximum number of
tourists to view out the
glass bottom and are not really suitable for other uses.
Glass bottom boats are in use in nearly every seaside tourist destination. However many of them are gradually being replaced by
semi submarines. These type of vessels offer a better view of the marine life.
History
Glass bottom boats were first used at
Catalina Island off the
Los Angeles, California coast. They also became popular in Florida at several natural springs-turned-tourist attractions (for example Silver Springs, Wakulla Springs,
Rainbow Springs, and
Weeki Wachee Springs.)
Typical tours include
shipwrecks,
reefs and other underwater flora and fauna.
