I live in Colorado so during the summer I dive in lakes. I try to go to Mexico to dive at least twice a year. Well here is my question. During the winter I go to my lds once a week to work on my skills. I am just wondering what is the deepest pools for divers do you have in your areas? The pool at my lds is only 12 feet. Has anyone like myself wondered about a pool that is maybe 20 feet deep? I think I like diving to much since I am looking for deeper pools.

We have a 15ft here...owned and operated by the University. However, you can't get access to it unless you know someone who works there.

dive tank about an hour from my house. There's reputed to be a 20 meter deep tank in Belgium, but not sure if it's in Antwerp or Brussels. I've alse heard there's a new tank outside Paris that's 30 meters (100ft) deep. The one near me is part of a large entertainment complex with a bowling alley, cinema, restaraunt and so on.

Well this is the deepest pool in America.The NBL, as it's called, is a huge pool filled with 22.7 million liters (6.2 million gallons) of water. In fact, it's the world's largest indoor pool -- 62 meters (202 feet) long, 31 meters (102 feet) wide and 12 meters (40 feet) deep. At the bottom of the NBL sits a model of the International Space Station, which is the same size as the one orbiting the Earth -- that's why the NBL needs to be so big. There is also a model of the space shuttle's payload bay. I am not an astronaunt so it looks like I am out of luck. Bummer.

Yeah, that would be cool. If I had unlimited funds, that's the first thing I would build.

The submariners wear a sort of all in one drysuit / hood that inflates and shoots them to the surface.:wacko:
Not great but better than the option of drowning I suppose.
There is a little hatch at the bottom of the tank that they come out of when they are training, it does sound a bit like a 30m CESA, scary.
