For the first time, the 45.5-meter deep diving pool with artificial underwater caves and Mayan ruins, the world’s deepest such structure, opened near Warsaw.
Not only that, the complex named Deepspot has a small wreck for scuba and free divers to explore.
The pool has 8,000 cubic meters of water — more than 20 times the amount in an ordinary 25-meter pool.
Deep spot can open despite coronavirus restrictions in Poland because it is a training center that offers courses.
A hotel with rooms from which guests will be able to watch divers at a depth of five meters is also planned.
Deep spot director Michal Braszczynski, a 47-year-old diving enthusiast, told AFP at the opening on Saturday, “It’s the world’s deepest pool.”
Some 5,000 cubic meters of concrete were used over the two years it took to build the pool and it cost around 40 million zloty (8.9 million euros, $10.6 million).
