Scuba divers can plunge to brand new depths without setting foot in the ocean thanks to a multi-million dollar facility that's just opened in Poland.

感谢波兰这个耗资数百万美元的设施,潜水者不用踏上海洋就可以潜入全新的深度了。

With a depth of over 45 meters (around 148 feet) Deepspot is claimed to be the world's deepest swimming pool, containing 8,000 cubic meters of water -- more than 20 times the amount as a 25-meter pool.

这个名为Deepspot的泳池深度超过45米(约148英尺),号称是世界上最深的游泳池,可容纳8000立方米的水,是25米游泳池的20倍多。

Intended as a training and practice site for divers of all levels, it cost an estimated $10.6 million to bring to life and the construction process took over two years.

作为各级潜水员的训练和练习场地,估计花费1060万美元使其得以诞生,施工过程耗时两年多。

The impressive structure is fitted with a simulated "blue hole" running down to its deepest point, and even contains a small shipwreck, as well as artificial underwater caves and Mayan ruins for divers to explore.

这座令人印象深刻的建筑配有一个模拟的“蓝洞”,一直延伸到最深处,甚至还包括一艘小型沉船,以及供潜水员探索的人工水下洞穴和玛雅遗迹。

"There are no magnificent fish or coral reefs here, so it is no substitute for the sea. But it is definitely a good place to learn and to train in order to dive safely in open water," Polish diving instructor Przemyslaw Kacprzak told AFP at the launch of Deepspot, located in the town of Mszczonow, less than 30 miles from Warsaw.

“这里没有壮丽的鱼类或珊瑚礁,因此它不能替代海洋。但这绝对是一个学习和训练的好地方,以便使你能在公开水域安全潜水,”波兰潜水教练普尔泽米斯瓦夫·卡普扎克在Deepspot启动仪式上对法新社说,Deepspot位于距离华沙不到30英里的姆斯佐诺镇。

"And it's fun! It's like a kindergarten for divers!"

“而且这里很好玩!就像使潜水员的幼儿园!“

There's also an underwater tunnel for spectators, while a number of onsite hotel "rooms with a view" at a depth of five meters will be available from December 14.

此外,还有一条供观众使用的水下隧道,还有从12月14日起,酒店内5米深处的“观景客房”将陆续推出。

Deepspot was permitted to open despite Poland's strict Covid-19 rules, as it's a training center that provides courses rather than a standard swimming pool.

尽管波兰有着严格的关于Covid-19的规则,Deepspot还是获准开放,因为它是一个提供课程的培训中心,而不是一个标准的游泳池。

While it's primarily aimed at scuba divers, director Michal Braszczynski told AFP that the facility may also be used as a training center for fire fighters and the armed forces.

虽然它主要是针对潜水者,但主任米哈尔·布拉斯奇恩斯基告诉法新社,该设施也可能被用作消防员和武装部队的训练中心。

Diving enthusiast Braszczynski also owns FlySpot, a popular indoor skydiving simulator based in Poland's Warsaw West County.

潜水爱好者巴辛西斯基还拥有FlySpot,一种流行的室内跳伞模拟器,总部设在波兰华沙西郡。

Up until recently, Y-40 Deep Joy, in Hotel Millepini, near Venice, Italy was known as the world's deepest swimming pool due to its 42-meter depth.

就在之前,位于意大利威尼斯附近的米勒皮尼酒店的Y-40 Deep Joy因其42米深而被誉为世界上最深的游泳池。

However, Deepspot has taken the title, albeit not for very long.

然而,Deepspot现在已经拔得头筹,尽管时间不长。

The 50-meter deep Blue Abyss, currently under construction in Colchester, England will claim this honor once it launches.

目前正在英国科尔切斯特建造的50米深蓝色深渊一旦投入使用,将夺得这一荣誉。

The state-of-the-art facility, designed by architect Robin Partington, was scheduled to open this year, but this has been pushed back to late 2022 / early 2023 due to the pandemic.

这座由建筑师罗宾·帕丁顿设计的最先进的设施原定于今年开放,但由于疫情大流行,这座设施被推迟到2022年底或2023年初。
