This is the home page of the deepest diving pool.
It's still a pool, so, it wouldn't qualify for an OW dive.

Yes, this was once the deepest...
Nemo 33 is a recreational scuba diving center in Uccle, Belgium near Brussels that is home to what was once the world's deepest swimming pool. The pool itself consists of a submerged structure with flat platforms at various depth levels. The pool has two large flat-bottomed areas at depth levels of 5 m (16 ft) and 10 m (32 ft), and a large circular pit descending to a depth of 33 m (108 ft). It is filled with 2,500,000 liters of non-chlorinated, highly filtered spring water maintained at 30 ްC (86 ްF) and contains several simulated underwater caves at the 10 m depth level. There are numerous underwater windows that allow outside visitors to look into the pools at various depths. The complex was designed by Belgian diving expert John Beernaerts as a multi-purpose diving instruction, recreational, and film production facility, and opened in 2004.
 
I would love to dive any of the above posted. Here is the deepest... In Chile. 115ft.

It was originally planned to be 33M (hence the 333 in the street address) but it's actually 35M.
 
I was going to say, there is no corrolation between fresh water and sea water that would give you a difference in depth based on pressure. Having you dive computer in sea water mode would give an error, but not 7' of error.
 
It was a nice place to escape the non-diving winter blues (before I got a drysuit).
 
why bother scuba diving in a pool? Must be the most uninteresting dive ever

Not if you want to do a 1st controlled decodive,whilest other wise you have a NO viz. dive.
