Nemo 33 is a recreational diving center in Brussels, Belgium that is home to
the world's deepest swimming pool. The pool itself 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°C (86°F) 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.
