NEMO33 Information

Welcome to NEMO33 Brussels, 10years WORLD'S DEEPEST DIVING POOL (Guinness) ! A unique place to learn and experience scuba- & freediving ! Do you remember the long training sessions in (not so clean) swimming pools during the late evenings when the pools are even more dirty, finding balls of hair, band aids and snots, and that on top of all you have to stay long periods in those 27°C cold waters? And after you finished your course in confined waters, you had to go and do several dives in a lake or quarries where water temperature is 5°C or maybe 10°C ! They used to tell you you were a "real man" because you had no fear of diving under those conditions and lack of visibility! In 1996, John BEERNAERTS who has been diving for over 20 years, traveled and discovered new waters. At the other end of the world, men learn how to dive in a blue lagoon ... Learning to dive was easy, feeling the pleasure was immediate, and to discover the underwater world did not require suffering, it was possible to enrich yourself intellectual and emotionally without any risk. One evening, while waiting for a friend, John drew on a tablemat the first contourns of a unique and deep pool. Objective: Recreate the conditions of Bora-Bora in Brussels ! May 2004, the doors open ! Rapidly, NEMO33 becomes worldwide known as the scuba-diving facility of the 21th century ! Training far from the seashore would never be the same...
