WARSAW, POLAND – Deepspot, the world’s deepest swimming pool, has officially opened for visitors and amateur divers in the city of Mszczonow, (Amshinov) south-west of Warsaw in Poland. The pool, which cost some 40 million zlotys (about 10.7 million dollars), is 45.4 meters deep and filled with 8000 cubic meters of water, more than twenty times the volume of a standard pool. The swimming pool features an underwater shipwreck as well as artificial caves and ruins which can be explored by amateur and professional divers.

Deepspot director Michal Braszczynski says that the pool could also serve Polish firefighters and the army. There are plans to build an adjacent hotel with rooms overlooking the pool so guests can watch divers explore the depths of the pool.
“There is no beautiful fish or coral reefs here, so it is no substitute for the sea, but it is really a good place to learn and train in order to dive safely”, said Przemyslaw Kacprzak, a scuba instructor who attended the pool’s formal opening over the week-end.
The pool eclipses the previous world record holder, a 42 meter-deep pool in Montegrotto Terme, Italy. However it may not maintain its status for long, as the 50-metres-deep Abyss diving pool – itself designed as a deep sea research and training centre – is set to open its doors in the UK in 2021 and overtake the Polish pool as the deepest swimming pool in the world.
How does one pronounce “Mszczonow” anyways
Mikva. Close filter and use as Mikva
WORLDS DEEPEST MIKVA
If it’s so deep, let’s install a multilevel underwater residence.
It’ll save you multiple trips to the mikvah.
Come to think of it, if you live in a mikvah,
do you ever have to immerse?
