Nemo 33 is a recreational diving center in Uccle, Belgium near Brussels that is home to the world's deepest swimming pool. The pool itself consists of a submerged structure with flat platforms at various depth levels. The pool has two large flat-bottomed areas at depth levels of 5 m and 10 m, and a large circular pit descending to a depth of 33 m. It is filled with 2,500,000 liters of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 °C and contains several simulated underwater caves at the 10 m depth level. There are numerous underwater windows that allow outside visitors to look into the pools at various depths. The complex was designed by Belgian diving expert John Beernaerts as a multi-purpose diving instruction, recreational, and film production facility, and opened in 2004.

You can take only a few items of your own dive kit (computer, mask, pool fins and small camera) but no BCD, fins that require boots, regulators (unless they have an integrated air linked to your computer - but no DIN fittings at all). torches, etc.

HOW DOES IT WORK ? 

 Divers have to be present with all necessary documentation one hour before the intended time of dive.

  • Access to the changing rooms will be opened at a quarter to the hour.

  • On the hour, access to the pool will be opened for swimming/snorkelling (except in the 35m pit and the caves).

  • At a quarter past the hour, tanks will be fitted by each diver with a jacket of adequate size and a regulator.

  • Total divetime will be 45 minutes max.

  • The 35m pit will close at a quarter to the hour: divers who happen to be in the pit at that time will start ascending to the 10m zone.Divers are responsible for planning their dive, no decompression limits, safety stops, etc. ...as to be at the foot of the metallic staircase on the hour sharp.

  • Each diver is responsible for his own safety and his/her buddy's safety.

  • Applicable rules are modelled on existing and widely known diving recommendations, plus some specific NEMO33 rules.

  DIVING GEAR 

  • Nemo 33 wishes to keep the water in its pristine condition all year long.

  • All diving gear is freely available by the pool. It is always included in the price of the dive.

  • Customers use the high quality equipment provided by Nemo33 partner aqualung.

  • You will find here some answers to any questions regarding diving gear.
