[custom_adv] Scuba divers can plunge to brand new depths without setting foot in the ocean thanks to a multi-million dollar facility that's just opened in Poland.With a depth of over 45 meters (around 148 feet) Deepspot is claimed to be the world's deepest swimming pool, containing 8,000 cubic meters of water -- more than 20 times the amount as a 25-meter pool. [custom_adv] The project features a series of underwater cave environments with a ‘blue hole’ leading downward to its deepest basin. divers are invited to explore other environments including a small shipwreck and simulated mayan ruins. for those not yet ready for a dive, an underwater tunnel immerses adventurous viewers, surrounded by divers suspended in the great volume of water. [custom_adv] The complex offers a collection of alternative programming, including conference and training rooms, and even hotel rooms with an underwater view at a depth of 5 meters (over 16 feet). the complex’s construction cost an estimated $10.6 million and took over two years.

But it is definitely a good place to learn and to train in order to dive safely in open water," Polish diving instructor Przemyslaw Kacprzak told AFP at the launch of Deepspot, located in the town of Mszczonow, less than 30 miles from Warsaw."And it's fun! While ‘deep diving’ generally suggests an underwater depth of 30 meters, deepspot’s pool reaches a depth of 45 meters, nearly 150 feet! [custom_adv] It's like a kindergarten for divers!"There's also an underwater tunnel for spectators, while a number of onsite hotel "rooms with a view" at a depth of five meters Intended as a training and practice site, the team at deepspot welcomes divers of all levels. beginners can try diving for the first time or join their first course, while certified divers can enjoy deepspot diving or retraining courses to hone their skills. [custom_adv] Deepspot is currently the deepest diving pool in the world. the impressive undertaking calls for a total of 8,000 cubic meters (2,113,376 gallons) of water to fill the pool, which is 27 times more than a standard 25-meter pool.
