DEEPEST SWIMMING POOLS IN THE WORLD! : NEMO 33 is 33 METERS DEEP (WOULD YOU DARE TO GO THAT FAR DOWN?)

NEMO 33 held the record for some time and it exists in Brussels, Belgium.  Pools like this are architectural achievements and provide thrill-seekers who dive or freedive (no oxygen equipment) an opportunity to experience a strange water environment, which, unlike a lake or ocean is free of marine animals and other hazards.  It could still be very scary. People from all over the world go to experience the pool. Some to experience what it is to have so much water above you. Some to practice for deep sea dives.  Unlike the ocean water, Nemo 33 water is warm and considered tropical, and the water is non-chlorinated fresh water.  It held the Guinness World Record as the deepest indoor pool in the world from 2004 for about a decade.

According to various web sites on water pressure, at 33 feet down deep in the ocean there is a total pressure of 29.4 pounds per square inch being exerted on a body.  Adjustments to oxygen are needed. But in water man can experience weightlessness.
