Deep Dive Dubai has entered the Guinness World Records as the world's deepest diving pool with a depth of 60.02 meters. The previous record was held by Deepspot in Poland with a depth of 45 meters.
Located just 15 minutes from downtown Dubai, the pool will be open to the public from the end of July. Abdulla Bin Habtoor of Deep Dive Dubai told Euronews, "We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to explore their own limits by diving into an amazing underwater experience that is located in the middle of the city."
Jarrod Jablonski, Director of Deep Dive Dubai, said that to reach a dive site of this depth would have normally taken a day's drive from Dubai. Abdulla Bin Habtoor also added his hopes for the pool saying, "What we aspire to do with Deep Dive Dubai is to make diving accessible to all visitors to the city or residents in the city," regardless of diving experience.
On site, it is possible to have training and there is a 12-person hyperbaric chamber for decompression problems, allowing for a deepening of diving skills.
