The lower body is like a sunken space-ship.
It is build in a shape of a cross, with pentagonal alcoves, where each table has its own window overlooking the sea life activities. "Sky light" of shining wave rays from the sun above the water, creates sparkling shadows and shapes.
On the way out the visitors are welcome to use the facilities of a diving club, just above sea level, and dive into the cool water to watch there friends eating, through the restaurant windows.
