Hollywood superstar Will Smith took to Instagram and shared a glimpse of him at the magnetic attraction.
The legendary actor told his fans that a friend asked him to check out the new pool.
“So I’m always in Dubai, and a friend of mine told me I have to check out this pool. There’s something weird about it. Deep Dive Dubai, I’m about to go down. The deepest pool on Earth, 200 feet deep. Madness,” he said.
The pool is 60.02 metres deep, holding 14 million litres of water and is located at at Nad Al Sheba.
It has an astonishing “sunken city,” amongst its many innovations and marvel.
It is open to everyone, from professionals to beginners and has great underwater diving experiences.
The pool's “sunken city” allows divers to explore unparalleled landscape, apartment, bookshelf, garage, an arcade, and many more surprises.
Diving lessons are also offered to all by world's best professionals.
The pool has two underwater habitats with a dry chamber at 6 and 21 metres.

Keeping hygiene in mind, the pool’s fresh water is filtered and circulated every six hours through siliceous volcanic rock.
The authorities maintain 30 degrees Celsius in the pool for the comfort of the divers.
The shape of the pool is a tribute to the UAE’s heritage as it is shaped like an oyster, covering an area of 1,500sqm.
