World's deepest swimmimg pool

clipped from fun-hunter.com
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 pool
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
