This dive site is the Gárdonyi Géza “Ponyvás” swimming pool, located at Gárdonyi Géza utca 1 / b in the inner area of Érd, Hungary. It is a clean, well-maintained pool with a maximum depth of 2 meters and an average depth of approximately 1 meter. With ample parking available, it serves as an excellent confined water training site due to its shallow, controlled environment and exceptionally clear visibility. There is no natural underwater navigation or historical significance beyond being a public swimming facility.
As a swimming pool, there is no natural marine life to observe. The description explicitly states, “We can’t talk about wildlife through the pool,” meaning divers should not expect to encounter any fish, coral, or other aquatic animals or plants during their dives.
The best time to visit this dive site is during its operational hours, typically when the weather is suitable for swimming pool activities. It is ideal for divers of all levels, especially beginners or those needing to practice skills, buoyancy, or confined water exercises. It's also suitable for freedivers looking for a controlled environment to train breath-hold techniques.
