Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diving pool, and more particularly, to a diving pool that can provide a simulated experience as close as possible to a real diving spot and has functions as leisure, schooling, and training.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, scuba diving and skin diving have become widespread as marine sports.
The diver population is also growing rapidly.

[0003] While every diver has a desire to enjoy diving at attractive spots, attractive diving spots are generally located in remote areas with a small population. Therefore, most divers go to nearby spots because city divers have to spend a lot of money and time to enjoy diving at such attractive spots. Is the current situation.

[0004] Japanese Patent No. 2568444 discloses a diving pool as an urban leisure facility that enables easy scuba diving and skin diving.

[0005] This conventional diving pool will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a schematic sectional view showing a conventional diving pool. As shown in FIG. 4, a conventional diving pool is a pool having a maximum linear distance of several tens of meters, a first zone 1 having a shallower depth, a second zone 2 having a deeper depth than the first zone 1, and a second diving pool. A third zone 3 having a deeper depth than the second zone 2 and a fourth zone 4 having a deeper depth than the third zone are provided.

This is a zone where intermediate and advanced divers can enjoy space swimming and aerial swimming.

[0006]

The conventional diving pool described above, unlike a small pool for basic training, can easily enjoy diving as a leisure without going to a remote location, and is also suitable for beginners to veteran divers. It has the effect of being able to learn diving skills according to the level up to, but also full of realism,
In addition, development of a new diving pool that can enjoy diving according to the actual situation has been desired.

[0007] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a diving pool capable of providing a simulated experience as close as possible to a real diving spot and having functions as leisure, schooling and training.

[0008]

According to the first aspect of the present invention,
In a diving pool in which the water depth changes stepwise from the sandy beach to the water bottom, a walk space provided around the pool, an entry boat deck provided in the walk space, and an exit provided in the walk space And a ladder.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that an image monitor for projecting underwater creatures underwater is provided. The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that sand is spread on the water bottom.

[0010] The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that the maximum water depth of the pool is 18 m.

[0011]

Next, an embodiment of the diving pool of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of the diving pool of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view showing an embodiment of the diving pool of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diving pool of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the diving pool of the present invention is constructed by a large concrete or steel structure having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a length of about 3 mm.
0 m, the width is about 10 m, and the maximum depth is 18 m. By setting the maximum depth to 18m, it can be used as training for professional divers. The water depth of the pool gradually increases from one short side where the sandy beach 5 is provided,
It reaches the bottom 6 of the water. Although the sandy beach 5 is made of a soft material such as a permeable floor material, real sand may be laid. In this case, it is necessary to provide a sand stopper so that the sand does not flow to the water bottom 6 side. The water used is seawater or ordinary chlorinated pool water. Water temperature is 20 to 2
It is about 9 ° C.

The reason why the maximum water depth is set to 18 m is as follows. When staying continuously in water at a depth of 18 m, the no-decompression limit, that is, the maximum time that the user can stay in the water without performing decompression stop before ascending to the surface of the water is 55 minutes. This time depends on the amount of breathing, but for a veteran diver, it is sufficient for the amount of air for one tank to be sufficient. The maximum ascent speed to avoid decompression sickness is 18m /
Minutes. In other words, even if an accident occurs on the bottom of the water, it is possible to safely ascend to the surface of the water in one minute. If the water depth is less than 18 m, it is not interesting for a skilled diver.

Between the sandy beach 5 and the water bottom 6, a step-like pseudo rock 7
A cave 8 is dug in the artificial rock 7. A high-quality monitor (not shown) is installed in the cave 8, and a diver can observe the ecology of the fish and shellfish projected on the monitor. The high-definition monitor reproduces high-definition video recorded on a laser disc using the high-definition method on a large monitor, and divers can enjoy the feeling of swimming with fish. The artificial rock 7 is provided with shaped objects such as coral reefs, shark shells, various seaweeds, and the like, so that it is as close as possible to the real seabed. In addition, cave 8
In addition, a magic mirror type viewing window may be provided so that the swimming status of the diver underwater can be directly viewed from outside the pool only from the side of the general audience.

A walk space 9 is formed around the pool. A boat deck 10 is provided in a walk space 9 above the artificial rock 7, from which entry (water entry) can be made by a method such as a back roll entry or a giant stride entry. In the walk space 9 above the water bottom 6, a plurality of ladders 11 having different lengths are provided so that the elderly and beginners can easily exit. Entries can be made from the sandy beach 5 and the boat deck 10, and
Alternatively, it can be performed from the ladder 11.

On the water bottom 6, an object such as a wreck 12 is provided. A monitor (not shown) similar to the high-quality monitor described above is installed in the window and opening of the wreck 12, so that a diver can observe the ecology of the fish and shellfish projected on the monitor.

An underwater camera may be installed at a predetermined location in the water so that the diver can be monitored live. Underwater cameras can also be used for diver safety monitoring.

Further, sand is spread all over the water bottom 6, and the sand rises due to the fin kick of the diver, which can reproduce a situation close to the actual sea bottom. In addition, in order to swim while enjoying music, BGM underwater
May be flowed. Also, a warm water tank 20 of a boat for warming is provided for divers on the sandy beach 5 and used for washing equipment after the business is over.

The structures of the pool include an elevator 13, a parking area 14, a machine room 15, a classroom / rest area 16, a lobby 17, a shower room 18, and a monitoring room 1.
9 and the like are provided.

According to the diving pool of the present invention configured as described above, the diver can enjoy diving as follows. Divers
Enter from the sandy beach 5 or the boat deck 10 and gradually descend to the pseudo rock 7 while enjoying the scenery with surrounding coral reefs, giant clams, seaweed, etc.
When making a boat entry, the user walks on the walking space 9 to the boat deck 9 and performs from the boat deck 9. When the diver descending to the artificial rock 7 enters the cave 8, in the cave 8, it is possible to observe the ecology of the fish and shellfish projected on the monitor and to enjoy the feeling of swimming with the fish.

If the ship descends further to the water bottom 6, an adventure of searching for a wreck 12 which cannot be normally enjoyed can be enjoyed. Since the water depth of the water bottom 6 is 18 m, even a skilled diver will not get bored. In the wreck 12, as well as in the cave 8, it is possible to observe the ecology of the fish and shellfish projected on the monitor and to enjoy the feeling of swimming with the fish. At this time, since the sand is laid on the water bottom 6, the sand rises due to the fin kick of the diver, so that a more realistic situation can be experienced.

The diver enjoying the diving in this way exits from the sandy beach 5 or the ladder 11. In this case, even if there is an accident at the bottom of the water, since it can rise to the surface of the water within one minute, there is no risk of decompression sickness.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a diving pool in which the water depth changes stepwise from a sandy beach to the bottom of the water, a walk space provided around the pool and a walk space provided in the walk space are provided. By having the entry boat deck and the exit ladder provided in the walk space,
A simulated experience as close as possible to the real diving spot is possible, and you can learn diving skills according to the level from beginners to experienced divers,
By setting the maximum water depth to 18 m, useful effects such as being able to be used by a skilled diver as well as being able to be used as training for a professional diver are provided.
