(CNET) – And you thought your neighbor's swimming pool with the deluxe floats was fancy? Jump into Deep Dive Dubai, a new indoor diving facility that's 60 meters (197 feet) deep and filled with as much water as six Olympic-size swimming pools.

The diving pool – named deepest swimming pool for diving by Guinness World Records – opens to the public on July 29. "Diving pool" doesn't really do this wild place justice, however. Think of it as a massive underwater world full of subaquatic attractions.
Chief among these is an area made to resemble an abandoned sunken city, complete with decaying buildings, graffiti-covered walls, fully furnished rooms and a sunken car. The 14 million liters of fresh water throughout the giant pool stays at a comfy 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit) – no wetsuits required.
