27. Nemo 33, in Brussels, Belgium is the deepest indoor and second deepest pool in the world. Nemo 33 is an indoor swimming pool facility in Brussels, Belgium. It held the record as the deepest indoor swimming pool in the world between its opening on May 1, 2004 and the completion of Y-40 in Montegrotto Terme, Padua, Italy on June 5, 2014. The pool's maximum depth is 34.5 metres (113 ft). It contains 2,500,000 litres of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 °C (86 °F) by a solar heater and holds several simulated underwater caves at the 10 metres (33 ft) depth level. Due to the warm temperature in the pool, divers can dive for extended periods without a wet suit to protect them from hypothermia. 4 Likes

Audery Mestre was attempting to freedive 171 meters to break the world record with a single breath(without breathing gear). A former Marine Biology student, she had already reached 170 meters in practice earlier in the week. 1 Like

At 171 meters down, a problem developed with the lift balloon which failed to deploy. Her safety divers intervened, but her rate of ascend was far too slow. There were only two safety divers with her at the moment, if there were more divers, she may have survived. A dive that should have been no more than 3 minutes resulted in her remaining under water for more than 8 minutes.

Re: Lets Talk About Swimming. by Explorers(m): 11:03am On May 03, 2016 |
When she finally surfaced, there was no doctor on board the boat, it took them more than 30 minutes to get Audrey to the nearest hospital. She was pronounced dead on arrival.
