Deepspot: World’s Deepest Diving Pool Opened in Poland
The deepest swimming pool in the world – the Deepspot in Poland – has now finally opened it’s doors and is greeting divers.
The Deepspot, situated close to Warsaw, Poland, is 45m / 148ft deep and has stolen the crown of deepest pool in the world from the Y-40 Deep Joy, which can be found in the northern Italian town of Montegrotto Terme and is 42m / 138 feet deep.
The impressive facility is a “kindergarten for divers” and the first photos and videos being posted on social media by the first scuba divers and freedivers at the pool are making us green with envy.
