Dubai smashes world record with the deepest pool in the world

Dubai has opened another record-breaking attraction: the deepest diving pool in the world

At 60 meters deep, the Deep Dive Dubai attraction has stolen the record from Poland’s Deep-Spot, which has a depth of over 45 meters.

The pool has enough water to fit six Olympic-sized swimming pools and is around four times bigger than any other diving pool in the world.

The facility is open by invitation only but the public will have the chance to dive into the action later this year.

Inside the ‘sunken city’

According to Deep Dive Dubai, the pool contains a post-apocalyptic “sunken city” that features various city settings, including benches, streetlights, and storefronts.

Slightly further down, swimmers can see an apartment with a bedroom, kitchen, dining area, and a garage featuring cars, motorbikes, arcade games, and a pool table.

56 underwater cameras surround the pool as well as a sound system that can relay messages to divers and create underwater soundscapes.

Dubai is already home to the world’s tallest skyscraper and the world’s largest mall

Currently, the pool is only open to people by invitation, but it will open to the general public later this year.
