Nemo 33: The World's Deepest Swimming Pool

bohica · **on:** January 15, 2014, 08:41:04 PM

The world’s deepest swimming pool has been around for quite a few years, since 2004. But we shouldn’t call it just a “swimming” pool: it’s a proper diving pool. We’re posting about it now because we just saw the pictures, and heck, that’s a lot of water!

The pool is located in Brussels, Belgium. Its maximum depth is 34.5 metres (113 ft). It contains 2.5 million liters of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 °C (86 °F) and holds several simulated underwater caves at the 10 metres (33 ft) depth level. There are numerous underwater windows that allow outside visitors to look into the pools at various depths.

While we’re on the topic of simulated environments, do you guys know about Excalibur, the world’s tallest climbing wall? That one’s in the Netherlands, and while the Nemo 33 is in Belgium, it was created by one John Beernaerts, a Dutchman. There’s some kind of link there, we’re just not sure what it is. Whatever the case, a dive at Nemo 33 starts at 22€.

But of course, it’s pretty unlikely you’ll go in person. So hit the jump to look at a bunch more pictures from the comfort of your own home.

That's deep. Yung babae sa pic doesn't have a scuba. How deep can you go without oxygen tank? Not deeper than 30 meters, I think.

Audrey Mestre, the girl above, who looks like a boy IMO, dove to a depth of 561 feet or 171 meters with weights.

the pool is incredibly awesome, the lady is amazing, but the guy is really super awesome.....diving without weights, kahit walang buwelo is really something...when i was younger kahit malapit kami sa dagat, ang kaya ko lang sisirin eh about 20 to 25 feet siguro 30 but masakit na tainga yun....

I like it

I've heard of this diver chick that died, I think her lung collapsed kung tama pagkatanda ko. Seen her on Ripleys, but I think it's a different girl.

Anyway, looks cool buddy. Scares the crap out of me though.. Hehehe.
