The deepest indoor pool in the world

Nemo 33 is a recreational diving center in Brussels, Belgium and it is the home of the deepest pool in the world. The pool consists of flat platforms which are at various depth levels. Platforms are 15 and 32 feet deep and there is also a large circular pit that is up to 110 feet deep. It is filled with 550,000 gallons of non chlorinated, pure spring water, which has a constant temperature of 86F. There are also several artificial caves in the water at the depth of 30 feet. There are numerous underwater windows at different depths, which allow visitors to see what is going on in the pool at that moment. The entire complex was designed by Belgian diving expert John Beernaerts. It is meant to be a multipurpose facility and a dive center for film production and was opened in 2004.



And for the end - nobody is allowed to dive in the pool without the diving instructor.
