The Deepest Swimming Pool in The World


Nemo 33 is a Recreational Diving Center in Brussels, Belgium. In here you would find the deepest swimming pool in the world, cause the pool consists of a submerged structure with flat platforms at various depth levels. The pool has two large flat-bottomed areas at depth levels of 5m (16 ft) and 10m (32 ft), and a large circular pit descending to a depth of 33m (108 ft). It is filled with 2,500,000 litres of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 degree Celcius (86 degree Fahrenheit) and contains several simulated underwater caves at the 10m depth level.

There are numerous underwater windows that allow outside visitors to look into the pools at various depths. The complex was designed by Belgian diving expert John Beernaerts as a multi-purpose diving instruction, recreational, and film production facility, and opened in 2004.

You can only take a few items of your own dive kit (computer, mask, pool fins) but no BCD, fins that require booties, regulators (unless they have an integrated air linked to your computer, but no DIN fittings at all), torches, etc. You are not allowed to practice any skills unless you have an instructor in your group.

108 feet, yeah thats super cool. I wish there was something like that here. Its like an underwater world or city. Too bad it’s in Belgium… no offence, that just meens I would have to take a major vacation to actually enjoy the experiance. Nemo 33 has got to be the top of the line spot for teaching a diving class. One of these days. Great photos as well, really made me wish I lived near by. Very very cool stuff, makes me wish I were a kid again.
