Hi,
Just wondering if anybody had been to nemo 33 in brussels i had never heard of it till the other day. Its an indoor dive site with caves and other bits and peices the water is heated and max depth of 33m. It is recognised by padi so you can do course there. Check out the site www.nemo33.com.
If anybody has been would love any info.
Cheers Lee

Never heard of it, but it looks a great place for training. Do we have anything like it in the UK?

wow, what a top looking site.
Wish we had something like that here for club pool training.

The rules & procedures seem a bit strict and limiting to me.

http://www.nemo33.com/index_en/dive.html

Divers have to be present with all necessary documentation one hour before the intended time of dive.
Access to the changing rooms will be opened at a quarter to the hour.
On the hour, access to the pool will be opened for swimming/snorkelling (except in the 35m pit and the caves).
At a quarter past the hour, tanks will be fitted by each diver with a jacket of adequate size and a regulator.
Total divetime will be 45 minutes max.
The 35m pit will close at a quarter to the hour: divers who happen to be in the pit at that time will start ascending to the 10m zone.

Divers are responsible for planning their dive, no decompression limits, safety stops, etc. ...
as to be at the foot of the metallic staircase on the hour sharp.

Excellent. Will be spending some time in Brussels next year so might pop in for a dip and scare the locals.

Been several times with groups. I run regular packages for groups and individuals from the north of England. We normally depart on a Saturday afternoon on the northsea ferries, returning monday morning. Two nights away, with a days diving at Nemo. Great laugh, very social and great change to a quarry!

Take a look at some photographs on our web site it

IIRC you're only allowed to use their gear when diving.
