THROWBACK THURSDAY - "The Deepest Swimming Pool in the World"

(originally published on August 14, 2010)

The deepest swimming pool in the world opened in 2004 in Brussels, Belgium. It's called Nemo 33, and it was designed by Belgian diving expert John Beernaerts as a facility for instruction, recreation and film production. The pool has two large flat-bottomed areas at depth levels of 5m (16 ft) and 10m (32 ft), and a large circular pit of 33m (108 ft). It also contains several underwater caves at the 10m depth level.
