Our next curious postal location is courtesy of Malaysia where the Reef Dive Resort at Mataking Island sank the forty foot wooden cargo ship “Mataking 1″ to form an artificial reef and opened a post office in the ship’s wheelhouse which is picked up twice a week and mail receives a special stamp. In Coral World Ocean Park’s Undersea Observatory located on Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, you can send mail from under the water without actually getting wet. Coral World International also operated an underwater mailbox on Paradise Island, Nassau in the Bahamas, but the park is “temporarily closed to the public“.
