Surprising Scuba Diving Hotspot: Brussels, Belgium

August 15, 2008 at 9:00 AM | by | Comment (1)

We always thought that Belgium was only famous for its tasty chocolate, but it's also home to the world's deepest swimming pool--and you're welcome to go SCUBA diving there.

The 105-foot-deep Nemo 33 has a tropical feel with the water kept at 33 degrees Celsius (91 F). You can learn to SCUBA there or just enjoy your own dive while your non-diving friends sit in the restaurant and watch you descend into the human aquarium.

A safety warning: We recommend diving in Nemo 33 first, before consuming the required ton of Belgian chocolate. Eating the sweets first could lead to serious sinking problems.

Belgium is more than chocolat

Belgium has a lot more to offer than just beer and chocolate alone. Four years ago I spend almost an entire season is Belgium's beautiful cities: Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels. Most hotels in Belgium are really attractive and will appeal to almost everyone, whether you are a business traveller or want to go on a business holiday. I stayed a wonderful three weeks in a hotel Antwerpen, capital of Fashion, followed by almost a month an a half in a Brussel hotel, to end my journey through Belgium in a Ghent hotel and a Bruges hotel. .
