Unique pool for diving
I present to you "Nemo 33" (Eng. & Quot; Nemo 33 & quot;) - a recreational diving center in Uccle (a suburb of Brussels, Belgium).
It was here in 2004 was opened the deepest pool in the world. Its depth reaches 33 meters.
Imagine the flooded city! Streets, buildings under water, where people spend most of their time in diving suits. Impressive, is not it? Belgian diver-expert John Birnaerts (John Beernaerts) once reflected on the need for such a simulator for training divers, and not least for those whose responsibilities include saving lives, shooting films and space exploration.
He drafted a pool, found investors, it took 7 years and 3, 2 million euros to the dream become a reality.
Nemo 33 introduced a number of "know-how" that will appreciate both professionals and novices. For novice divers at depths of 7 and 9 meters are 3 "bell", where pressurized air is fed constantly updated, so you never have too often emerge. On the 33-meter depth of the well leads, starting at 15 meters.
Inside the well, just in case the ladder. Filtering 2500 cubic meters of water is controlled by a computer which, for example, will not allow any smell of chlorine. The temperature was 30 degrees Celsius heated solar panels.
The uniqueness and originality of Nemo 33 is that it consists of several levels, combined underwater passages, tubes and caves. Spectacular scenery make you feel like in the flooded city, on the psychological level of immersion allows you to experience weightlessness, peace, cause the natural spirit of mutual assistance. Whoever childhood dream of becoming an astronaut, will be able to test the load space. The benefits to health at the physiological level, you can not apply too much - everything is clear, but without proper training dives can be dangerous.
On an intellectual level diving stimulates interest in marine life, which undoubtedly broadens the mind, and underwater research can be loosely compared with research. And ordinary visitors can watch the divers outside through numerous underwater windows, so they also do not have to miss.
