The city of superlatives with the world’s tallest tower among its many records, Dubai now has the deepest swimming pool on the planet complete with a “sunken city” for divers to explore.
  Deep Dive Dubai, which opened last week but initially by invitation only, prides itself as “the only diving facility in the world” where you can go down 60m, 15m deeper than any other pool, as confirmed by Guinness World Records.
  It contains 14.6 million litres of fresh water, a volume equivalent to six Olympic-size swimming pools.

  Guided down by lights and ambient music, divers can play table football and other games at the bottom as well as explore an “abandoned sunken city” or just soak up the vegetation on the way.

  The pool is equipped with more than 50 cameras, for entertainment and safety purposes.
  A one-hour dive costs between US$135 and US$410 (RM567 and RM1,721), with Deep Dive vowing that it will open to the general public soon.

  The oyster-shaped structure pays tribute to the pearl-diving tradition of the United Arab Emirates, of which Dubai is a member, explained Deep Dive Dubai’s director Jarrod Jablonski.
