This dive site is AED Studio 12, a state-of-the-art indoor facility located in Lint, Belgium. It features a vast 4-meter-deep heated water tank, holding 3 million liters, specifically designed for various underwater activities including diver training, equipment testing, and professional underwater filming. As part of the larger AED Studios complex, it offers a controlled and modern environment with an on-site dive center, making it an ideal location for perfecting diving skills or creating cinematic underwater scenes. Its central location and amenities like ample parking and guest rooms contribute to its versatility.
As an artificial studio tank, AED Studio 12 does not host natural marine animals or plants. The underwater environment is entirely controlled, with potential for artificial sets and props to be introduced for filming purposes, as implied by its use in creating 'underwater life... in films'. Divers visiting for training or recreational purposes will find a clean, sterile environment focused on skill development rather than ecological observation.
Being an indoor, temperature-controlled facility, AED Studio 12 is suitable for diving year-round, making any time the 'best time to visit' for its intended use. It is particularly highlighted for its utility in diver training, allowing beginners to gain confidence in a safe setting and experienced divers to practice specific skills or test new gear. Freedivers will also find the consistent depth and clear water excellent for breath-hold training. Tips include utilizing the on-site dive center for equipment and guidance, and recognizing its value as a highly controlled training ground rather than a natural exploration site.
