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]

Deeper, but nowhere near as big as the set tank for the 1988 film, The Abyss. The Abyss "Tank A" held 7.5 million US gallons of water, but was only 55 ft deep.

If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one.

It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, has a 115-foot deep end, and holds 66 million gallons of water.

The Guinness Book of Records has named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world.

But if you fancy splashing out on one of your own -- and you have the space to accommodate it -- then beware: this one took five years to build, cost nearly 1 billion, and the annual maintenance bill will be 2 million.

The man-made saltwater lagoon has been attracting huge crowds to the San Alfonso del Mar resort at Algarrobo, on Chile 's southern coast, since it opened last month.

Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end.

It dwarfs the world's second biggest pool, the Orthlieb -- nicknamed the Big Splash -- in Morocco , which is a mere 150 yards long and 100 yards wide. An Olympic size pool measures some 50 yards by 25 yards.

Chile's monster pool uses a computer-controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other.

The sun warms the water to 26c, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea.

Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build "an impressive artificial paradise" even in inhospitable areas. It uses hardly any chemicals.

"As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean."
