The world's deepest swimming pool has opened in Dubai, with a depth of 196 feet (60 metres) and a water volume equivalent to six Olympic-size swimming pools.
Deep Dive opened its doors to invited guests in late June, and includes a massive underwater city of abandoned homes and an arcade.
Dubai's newest attraction is at least four times larger than any other pool in the world and superseded Poland's Deepspot, measuring 147ft (45m) in depth, for the Guinness World Record on June 27.
It is housed in an oyster shaped structure and surrounded by gushing water features. The pool inside has a water temperature of 30 degrees and guests are advised to wear a thin wetsuit or swimsuit.

The complex also doubles as an underwater film studio with state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems, and an editing room nearby.
The site boasts 56 cameras dotted around the underwater city and an advanced hyperbaric chamber for emergencies, which is expected to launch by the end of the year.
Dubai's newest attraction is billed as a family friendly day out with diving courses for beginners and advanced divers, but there are also tours on offer.
And those who do not fancy a dip in the water can watch from an 80-seat restaurant equipped with large windows and TV screens.
