The Guinness Book of World Records had verified the depth of the pool earlier this June. According to the website, the pool, which is a concrete structure including a circular shaft constructed with a depth of 60.02 meters, provides different themes at various levels. It also showcases props to enhance the diving experience. While it was meant for private use earlier, it has now been opened to the public since July.
Guinness World Records also shared a post about the astounding record-breaking structure. "Deepest swimming pool for diving: 60.02m (196 ft 10 in) by Deep Dive Dubai," they wrote while sharing another video of the pool. While replying to their post, they also shared "The pool at @deepdivedubai in UAE officially opened this week. It'll primarily be an indoor scuba diving facility for training and recreational purposes, with facilities for education and recreation." In the next few posts, they added that people can even play chess and table football at the bottom of the pool.
