Feel like doing some deep scuba diving without visiting an ocean? Then go take a trip to Nemo 33<\/a>, the deepest pool in the world.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Located in Brussels, this swimming pool<\/a> is perfect for learning how to dive or for fine-tuning your skills before you hit the deep ocean. It’s 105 feet (33 meters) deep with 2.5 million liters of chlorine-free warm water. But the pool isn’t just used for practice; it’s also a tourist attraction. Everyone is welcome to test dive with instructors who will provide training if you are a beginner.<\/p>\n

The pool was created by Belgian civil engineer John Beernaerts 13 years ago.\u00a0 He was sitting in a Belgian bar one day with a pen and a napkin and just started drawing. What he eventually sketched amazed even him. He envisioned a giant indoor diving complex, full of underwater tunnels and chambers. An almost byzantine maze was what Beernaerts had in mind, and that’s essentially what Nemo 33 is.\u00a0 The type of pool you can get lost in if you’re not careful.<\/p>\n

Why is the water in the pool 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees F)?\u00a0 Well,\u00a0 John’s vision was to create an environment that would mimic deep-sea diving in the Caribbean.\u00a0 He felt that type of an experience would be the kind that locals and tourists would enjoy the most, and given the number of people who have turned out to swim in or tour his facility since its inception, he seems to have guessed correctly.<\/p>\n

Since 2004, over 100,000 divers have visited Nemo.\u00a0 So, far, they all have come back alive.\u00a0 No sharks or terrifying octopuses to contend with in these waters.\u00a0 No stingrays to pinch you as you explore deep sea passageways.\u00a0 No jellyfish to make you squeal as you try to make your way back to shore. No, what Mr. Beernaerts built in Brussels is nothing short of a scuba utopia. It’s one of the most unique tourist attractions in the world, and truth be told, if you’re a scuba fan, you’ll probably want to give Nemo a taste test before you die.<\/p>\n

Other pools in the world that are out of the ordinary contain interesting 3D effects.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
