Escaping to a deserted island is a common fantasy, and only the privileged few can actually afford to buy their own. However, if your dream is to buy an island, you need to follow your heart to the Bahamas
. The 850-acre L-shaped Great Whale Cay island is up for sale for $80 million. The new owner of 94 percent of the land will have full control of the island, which features a private paved airstrip along with the consent to develop the land into a luxury private island resort. In addition to this, the island comes with a commercially operated airstrip, marina, hotel and resort homes. But what makes it such a rare and valuable opportunity to own is its accessibility – the island is a 50-minute flight from Florida and 10 minutes from Nassau. For the man and woman who have everything, obviously you were missing this island in your life.

The Great Wall: Underwater.

You’ve heard of the Great Wall. Maybe you’ve even seen it. But here’s a bit of wisdom you may not have known: Some parts of the wall are greater than others.
Especially the parts that happen to be underwater.
Introducing Diving the Great Wall, the first-ever organized tour of the submerged portions of the Great Wall, running missions now.
This portion of the wall has been under a lake since the 1980s, but unless you planned on ferrying a few hundred pounds of diving equipment across the border, you couldn’t take it on until now. Your scuba-sherpas will suit you up, bring you to the exact spot where the wall dips underwater and guide you to its most dive-worthy parts. Once submerged, you’ll stumble across a few Ming-era stone carvings, some intricate tunnels and a tight-squeeze guard tower that will require every last ounce of your Bond-like scuba ability. (Wearing your backup tux is advised.)
Over the course of the trip, you’ll get two scuba-assisted dives into the Atlantis-style ruins (feel free to keep the dress semi-formal for the second) before you start the earthbound portion of the voyage, which includes a guided tour of the unrestored parts of the Forbidden City, usually off-limits to tourists.
You always knew you were special.
