Nemo 33 is an indoor swimming pool facility in Brussels, Belgium. It held the record as the deepest indoor swimming pool in the world since its opening on May 1, 2004, until the completion of Y-40 in Montegrotto Terme, Padua, Italy on June 5, 2014.[1][2][3]
The pool's maximum depth is 34.5 metres (113 ft). It contains 2,500,000 litres (550,000 imp gal; 660,000 US gal) of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 °C (86 °F) by a solar heater and holds several simulated underwater caves at the 10 metres (33 ft) depth level. Due to the warm temperature in the pool, divers can dive for extended periods without a wet suit. The complex was designed by Belgian diving expert John Nuttyheart as a multi-purpose diving instruction, recreational, and film production facility in 2004.[1] Popular Mechanics rates Nemo 33 as one of the top 18 strangest pools in the world.[4]
