With a depth of over 45 meters, Deepspot in Poland is easily the deepest swimming pool in the world (at least, as of now).
Learning to scuba dive in an actual ocean, the bounteous view withstanding, is still fraught with risks. Now, if you have a desire to plunge to great depths and in a more controlled environment, you only have to travel to Warsaw, the capital of Poland and then another approximately forty-five kilometres to the outside of the metropolitan area in Żyrardów County, Masovian Voivodeship, to land up in a town called Mszczonów.
Finding That Deepest Dive
Here you will find the Deep spot. With a depth of over 45 meters (around 148 feet) this aquatic facility, holding about eight thousand cubic meters of water is easily the deepest swimming pool in the world, at least as of now. In terms of capacity, it is about twenty-seven times the amount of water a standard twenty-five-meter pool contains.
Generally, reaching a depth of thirty meters is considered 'deep diving'. It has this December leapfrogged the Y-40 diving pool in Italy, which was the previous record-holder, by 5 meters (over 16 feet).
Training For Divers Of All Levels
This facility is more for the purpose of professional practice than recreational indulgence, and it was precisely the reason why it was allowed to be inaugurated and operated in the midst of an ongoing lockdown brought upon by a pandemic. Built at an estimated cost of $10.6 million and constructed over a period of two years, it has enough challenges to accommodate scuba divers of all levels. It is also positioned to be a training ground for firefighters and armed forces.
Shipwrecks, Artificial Underwater Caves and Mayan Ruins
Diving enthusiast Michał Braszczyński who is also the director of this pool must have realised that just having a huge body of water might be boring — there are no magnificent fish or coral reefs like one would find in a sea — so he put in a small shipwreck, a series of artificial underwater caves and Mayan ruins to break the monotony and to keep the practitioners engaged in interesting ways. He has also fitted this impressive structure with a simulated 'blue hole', running down its deepest basin, to add to the experience.
Not Diving, No Problem
One can still enjoy the place even if one is not diving. Adventurous viewers can be lower in a while inside an underwater tunnel, surrounded by divers for safety. Apart from its main attraction, the complex in itself houses hotel rooms at a depth of five meters with a magnificent underwater view. There are other alternative programmes like conference & training rooms.
