Polen overtrumfer Italien med 'dykkerbørnehave'
Verdens dybeste kunstige dykkerbassin er nu Deepspot, som åbnede i den polske by Mszczonow, 25 km fra hovedstaden Warszawa, den 21. november.
På 45.5 m slår puljen den tidligere rekordholder, som også er i Europa – Deep JoyY-40 i Montegrotto Terme i Italien er 42.5 m dyb.
Providing another confined-water environment for advanced scuba and freediver training, Deepspot includes five layers of artificial caves and a Mayan chamber for overhead-environment work, as well as a small boat. The main pool section descends to 20m.
Poolen rummer 8000 cu m vand - mere end 20 gange så meget som den gennemsnitlige 25 m swimmingpool. Byggeriet tog to år og kostede 8 millioner pund. Der er planer om at indkvartere besøgende dykkere på et tilstødende hotel, hvorfra de kan se undervandsaktiviteterne gennem udsigtsvinduer 5 m dybe.
Unlike Polish swimming pools the Deepspot complex has been able to open to the public during the coronavirus pandemic because it is classed as a training centre for divers. Only about a dozen used it on the opening day, however, including eight on an instructor course. One described the facility as a “kindergarten for divers”.

Besides the public, firefighters and military divers are set to use the facility for training purposes.
A one-hour slot costs from £67 for one and £105 for two divers with an instructor, £75 for two divers and £146 for two instructors.
Deepspot-webstedet ser ud til at være ufuldstændigt endnu, men kan findes her.
****** IN OTHER TRAINING news, NAUI says it is extending its offer to all diving instructors of a free instructor crossover course along with five free certifications. Including Open Water, Advanced, Rescue, Nitrox and other specialities, these certifications can be mixed and matched.
The training agency has also decided to freeze membership fees for instructors crossing over or restarting in 2021, in a bid to help “kick-start” an industry that it says has severely suffered as a result of coronavirus.
