This dive site is the Hong Kong Baptist Assembly Pool, a private outdoor pool located at a campsite in Fanling, Hong Kong. Primarily serving as a dedicated facility for dive training, it offers a controlled and safe environment for learning and practicing various underwater disciplines. With depths ranging from 1.2 meters to 3 meters, and a maximum depth of 5 meters, it accommodates beginners and those refining specific skills without the complexities of open water navigation or historical features.
As a man-made pool, this dive site does not naturally host marine animals or plants. Divers can expect a sterile environment free from aquatic life, making it ideal for focused skill development without distractions. Any 'marine life' would be introduced for specific training purposes, such as rescue scenarios or prop placement.
The best time to visit this dive site for training is generally year-round, subject to the pool's operating schedule and Hong Kong's weather conditions, which can be warm and humid in summer. It is an excellent location for freedivers to practice breath-hold techniques and depth training in a safe setting. For scuba divers, it provides an ideal space for confined water training, equipment familiarization, and skill refinement before venturing into open water. Mermaiding enthusiasts will also find the consistent depth and controlled environment perfect for practice.
