whoa.
Europeans, rejoice! At just over 100 feet deep, Belgium's Némo33 may be the world's coolest pool. Filled with heated, drinkable, unchlorinated spring water, the Némo33 is ideal for the leisure diver who wants to practice, improve, or acquire new skills in a safe, warm, accessible area. While the 660,000-gallon pool may be a bit overwhelming for the beginner diver, the year-round temperature of 30°C (86° F), may help soothe their fears. Featuring 3 permanent, underwater bells of airs (a.k.a., "under pressure water caves") so instructors and students can compare notes at depth, 250 anchor points, and 12 portholes allowing visitors to watch divers clear their flooded masks, the facility also features heated changing rooms, a clubhouse, an on-site restaurant, exotic gardens, and rooms for "happenings." Although the website doesn't feature photos of the "happenings" rooms, it does boast some majorly cool shots of the pool, itself.

After getting down in Belgium, I can get high in Amsterdam! That sounds like a good plan!

It makes you wonder what kind of waivers people have to sign to be able to use that...so deep. I wonder how the pressure would be. But that would be the most excellent place to learn to scuba dive. _________________ What ever happened to that girl BA?

But there's nothing to see while diving in the pool...
I was certified for diving in a natural spring, and there were things to explore, a sunken bus, a ship, etc. What do you explore in the pool??? |

Wow cool! You were certified in dumpster diving? See, I like fish. You know, when they are still alive and moving. That's what I like to see when I go diving. This pool is just for training, btw. |
