The deepest indoor pool in the world is in Belgium!

33 metres (about 100') at a constant of 31°C (I'm lost with °F, sorry).

It opened on May, 1rst in the Brussels suburbs and I had my first try at it last night.

Nice big pool, nice new equipment (access fees include everything except for fins, mask and computer), and great playing ground, not to mention great opportunity for training in safe conditions for beginners to advanced students.

I'll probably go there again in the near future with a recently certified OW student of mine before we start talking about AOW, as the conditions outside are still pretty wintry.
 
That's pretty cool! (with great vis too :wink: )

You'd think that they could at least supply mask and fins considering they supply everything else! I don't get it?
 
You are obliged to use their equipment for hygiene reasons, and are only allowed to bring mask and fins and a shorty if you really want to.

I think computers are available for rent, but I've seen a few people using one for two buddies (I know, it is bad, but they weren't in my group).
 
Wow! They just started cheap flights Warsaw - Brussell. So I have to go there one day.

but Texas does it again :wink:

Can you convert in °C?

The silo is certainly deeper, but it seems the temperature is much lower.

And by the way, the pool in Brussels was not converted from something else, it was built on purpose.
 
About 88 degrees F

Here's a site specifically for temperature
