    The complex, named Deepspot, even includes a small wreck for scuba and free divers to explore. It has 8,000 cubic metres of water - more than 20 times the amount in an ordinary 25-metre pool. Image Credit: AFP

    Unlike regular swimming pools, Deepspot can open despite coronavirus restrictions in Poland because it is a training centre that offers courses. Image Credit: AFP

    A hotel with rooms from which guests will be able to watch divers at a depth of five metres is also planned. "It's the world's deepest pool," said Deepspot director Michal Braszczynski, a 47-year-old diving enthusiast, at the opening on Saturday. Image Credit: AFP

    "There are no magnificent fish or coral reefs here so it is no substitute for the sea but it is definitely a good place to learn and to train in order to dive safely in open water," said Przemyslaw Kacprzak, a 39-year-old diving instructor. Image Credit: AFP

    "And it's fun! It's like a kindergarten for divers! Jerzy Nowacki, a 30-year-old forestry officer and diving novice, said: "For my first time, we went down five metres but you can see all the way to the bottom - the wreck, the caves - it's magnificent!" Image Credit: AFP

    Braszczynski said the pool "will also be used by the fire brigade and the army. There are many scenarios for training and we can also test different equipment". Image Credit: AFP

    Some 5,000 cubic metres of concrete were used over the two years it took to build the pool and it cost around 40 million zloty (8.9 million euros, $10.6 million). Image Credit: AFP
