Dubai has always set records in every terms by bringing up the biggest building and biggest mall in the world. Now, it opened yet another architectural marvel up to the public- the deepest dive pool in the world.
Located in Dubai’s Nad Al Sheba, the pool at Deep Dive Dubai extends to a breathtaking depth of 60.02 metres and contains 14 million litres of water.
With a staggering depth of 196 feet, the pool, part of the new Deep Dive Dubai attraction has stolen the record from Poland’s Deepspot, which has a depth of over 45 meters.
The Deep Dive Dubai pool is filled with 14 million liters of fresh water — the volume of six Olympic-sized swimming pools — and is at least four times bigger than any other diving pool in the world. Guinness awarded it the “Deepest swimming pool for diving” title on June 27.
The facility is open by invitation only for now but will open to the public later this year.
Videos of the pool were shared online by Dubai crown prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. A keen diver, he was reportedly one of the first visitors and took to Twitter sharing a clip. “An entire world awaits you at Deep Dive Dubai the world’s deepest pool, with a depth of 60 meters,” he said in in posts.
Water temperature is maintained at 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit), a comfortable temperature for wearing a thin wetsuit or a swimsuit.
Deep Dive Dubai is now open and offering a variety of experiences including discovery dives for first timers, scuba dives, freedives as well as diving courses and workshops on all levels of diving from beginner to technical instructors,” the pool’s website says.
