Y-40 The Deep Joy is an indoor thermal-water pool built for training, depth practice, and controlled first experiences. The site is more about structured progression than natural topography, with fixed platforms stepping down into the deep well and a transparent tunnel for observing divers and freedivers. Freedivers and scuba divers use the tunnel, safety ropes, and calm supervised water to practice skills year-round.
