What is the deepest pool in the world?

Ready to go for a really deep swim? Deep Dive Dubai, the deepest swimming pool in the world, invites you to jump right in. Verified by Guinness World Records as the world's deepest pool, Deep Dive Dubai goes down to 60 meters (about 197 feet) and contains 14 million liters (roughly 3.7 million gallons) of water.



As of 2026, the world's deepest swimming pool is Deep Dive Dubai, located in the Nad Al Sheba neighborhood of Dubai, UAE. This extraordinary facility features a depth of 60 meters (197 feet), shattering previous records. To put its scale into perspective, it holds a staggering 14 million liters of fresh water, which is equivalent to six Olympic-sized swimming pools. Rather than just being a deep hole, the pool is designed as a "Sunken City," an underwater film studio and diving attraction where divers can explore abandoned urban streetscapes, a furnished apartment, a library, and even an arcade with a working underwater pool table. The water is kept at a consistent 30°C (86°F) for comfort, and the facility is equipped with 56 cameras and advanced lighting and sound systems for safety and production. It is open to both scuba divers and free-divers of various skill levels, offering courses and guided tours. This feat of engineering has surpassed the previous record-holders, such as Deepspot in Poland (45 meters) and Y-40 The Deep Joy in Italy (42 meters), solidifying Dubai's reputation for record-breaking architecture and unique luxury experiences.
