The ‘deepest pool in the world’ opens in Poland

(CNN) – Scuba submarines can plunge into the depths without being in the ocean thanks to a multimillion-dollar company that has just opened in Poland.

Aimed at being a training and practice venue for divers at all levels, it cost about $ 10.6 million to bring to life and the construction process took two years.

The spectacular structure matches the mysterious “blue hole” that runs down to its deepest point, and there are also small wrecks, as well as artificial underwater caves and Mayan ruins for tourists to explore.

Diver’s motto

“And it’s fun! It’s like a kindergarten for swimmers!”

There will also be an underwater tunnel for spectators, while the five-meter-deep “View Room” will be available from December 14.

While it is primarily aimed at scuba divers, director Michal Braszczynski told AFP that the facility could also be used as a training center for firefighters and the armed forces.

However, Deepspot took the title, though not for long.

The state-of-the-art facility, designed by architect Robin Partington, is scheduled to open this year, but has been pushed back to late 2022 / early 2023 due to epidemics.
