Y-40 The Deep Joy

This dive site is Y-40 The Deep Joy, the deepest thermal water pool in the world, located in Italy. It is designed with various pitches at depths of 5, 10, and 15 meters, and a deep well extending to 42 meters, primarily utilized for freediving. Divers can explore simulated caves for specialty training and navigate around a central transparent tunnel, offering a unique viewing experience for non-divers or surface support. The pool provides a highly controlled environment ideal for skill development and leisure.
As an artificial, thermal water pool, Y-40 does not host any natural marine animals or plants. The focus here is entirely on diver training, skill refinement, and the unique experience of diving in a deep, warm water environment without the variables of natural marine ecosystems.
The best time to visit Y-40 is year-round due to its indoor, climate-controlled nature. Highlights include the opportunity to practice deep diving skills safely, experience simulated cave environments, and refine freediving techniques with dedicated safety ropes. It's an ideal destination for divers seeking to advance their certifications or simply enjoy a unique underwater experience without the typical challenges of open water.
