Designed by John Beernaerts, a polytechnicien with a passion for diving, the Némo 33 pool has an ingenious architecture with technical elements adapted to optimize user comfort and safety. In the heart of europe, this pool is one of the deepest in the world at 33 metres. No chlorine odor is emitted and its water is even drinkable as long as it is maintained! It is, therefore, the ideal place for young and old alike to have a first scuba diving experience in 6 meters deep, to pass the first level in diving and to continue to improve. Nemo 33 collaborates with SSI and holds the Diamond Instructor Training Center label. We do freediving and even aqua gym. Whether you pass your certification, maintain your skills during the long winter months or share an evening with your diving friends, Nemo 33 is open all year round, even on holidays. You must be at least 12 years old, be a certified diver and accompanied by a certified buddy, or be supervised by an instructor authorized to teach there. A good physical condition is required. Of course, you must also adhere to the rules of your certification body in conjunction with the rules specific to Nemo 33 for the respect of prerogatives. A special regulation protects young people under 15 years old who do not exceed 12m whatever their certificate. The dives should not include a mandatory decompression stop, however, a safety stop is recommended. Non-divers are also welcome as the Bar & Resto allows them to observe divers and freedivers through portholes and screens. Great packages including accommodation at the Best Western, meals and dives are to be consulted as soon as possible! [+]
