The world’s deepest pool is at Nemo 33 in Brussel, Belgium. It is 33 m (36 yard) deep. Link – via digg

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I’m getting an earache just looking at it.

Aren’t some of those nuclear rod storage pools deeper than 100 feet?

The U.S. Navy trains submarine sailors to escape from submarines in towers of water, that I believe, are about 118 feet deep.

The dive tower at the submarine school came down about 10-15 years ago – it was 150 feet.

There are private converted missle silos that are being used for recreational dive training that are probably deeper than this – but not as nice looking.

10 -15 years ago? Damn, I’m old. What about the tower at Pearl Harbor, is that still there? I did 70′ holding my breath in that one.

don’t you get the bends if you swim out of submarines at that depth? I guess that’s probably better than drowning…

Drowning is probably faster and less painful, though.
