In 1994, inspired by the theme restaurant boom, Steven Spielberg & Jeffrey Katzenberg founded 'Dive!', an undersea-submarine themed restaurant. (3) locations were opened in LA (Century City), Las Vegas, and Barcelona, with all closing by 1999. (1/X) 
A fully-curated experience, upon entering through the 'hatch door' entry, guests are greeted by a uniform-clad 'sailor', guiding them to their seats; adjacent to either a porthole window with underwater aquarium or view of the massive multi-screen virtual 'sea window'. (2/X)
I'm particularly impressed by the Las Vegas location's exterior, creating the impression of 'ship bursting through the sea' using various architectural techniques at their disposal; along with the attention to detail in the interior environments.
While I don't have much information on this, the books mention an hourly 'dive simulation' accompanied by alert sounds, flashing lights and underwater scenes on the screens. Also, in requisite 90s fashion, there was a gift shop at the exit.
