[0017]

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. 4 is a schematic sectional view showing a diving bell installed in the diving pool of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an underwater scenery suspended on the wall of the diving pool of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view showing a wake device installed in a diving pool of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the diving pool of the present invention is constructed of 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.

In the water at a depth of 10 to 15 m, a wreck 12
Etc. are arranged. As shown in FIG. 4, a diving bell (a space where air is stored) 21 capable of sucking and discharging air is installed in the wreck 12. A table 22 is placed in the diving bell 21, and the diver can ride on the footrest 23 and use the space in the diving bell 21 as a space for resting and eating and drinking without the regulator. If the diving bell 21 is made of a transparent material, it is possible to take a break or eat and drink while enjoying the scenery inside the wreck 12. In addition, it goes without saying that the diving bell 21 may be used as a space for decompression stop in an emergency.

A monitor (not shown) similar to the above-described high image quality monitor is installed in the window and opening of the wreck 12, and a diver can observe the ecology of the fish and shellfish projected on the monitor.

On the wall of the pool, as shown in FIG.
A panel 24 on which underwater scenery such as fish and seaweed is drawn is suspended by a wire 25. The panel 24 is provided with a mirror 26 for performing training for correcting the swimming posture of the diver. The panel 24 can be freely inserted into and removed from the guide rail 28 by wire winding means 27 such as a winch, and can be periodically replaced with a panel on which a different pattern is drawn.

As shown in FIG. 6, a wake device 34 with a variable flap nozzle 33 is provided on a part of the wall of the pool. Water is jetted from the wake device 34 into the water, and the jetting direction of the water can be adjusted by changing the angle of the flap nozzle 33. By injecting water from the wake device 34, it is possible to reproduce the flow of water corresponding to the tidal current in the water, and thereby it is possible to conduct safety training in the ocean.

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

Further, sand is spread on 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 pool structure includes 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, a diver can enjoy diving as follows. Divers
Enter from the sandy beach 5 or the boat deck 10 and gradually remove the ears to the pseudo rock 7 while the surrounding coral reef, clam shells, seaweed, etc., and the underwater scenery such as fish and seaweed drawn on the panel 24 Descend while enjoying. At this time, the diver can perform the training for correcting the swimming posture while watching his / her figure reflected on the mirror 26 of the panel 24.
In addition, by jetting water from the wake device 34, the flow of water corresponding to a tidal current can be reproduced in the water, so that safety training can be conducted in the ocean.

When making a boat entry,
Walk on the walking space 9 to the boat deck 9,
It is performed 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, the adventure of searching for a wreck 12 which cannot be normally enjoyed can be enjoyed. At this time, since the sand is spread on the water bottom 6, the sand soars due to the fin kick of the diver, and a more realistic situation can be experienced. 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. In addition, in the diving bell 21 installed in the wreck 12, it is possible to enjoy a break and food and drink without the regulator.

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.

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, a simulated experience as close as possible to a real diving spot is possible, and at the same time, it has functions as leisure, schooling and training, and is arranged underwater. In the model, you can enjoy a break, eating and drinking, etc. with the regulator removed, and you can easily change the underwater scenery pattern drawn on the wall of the pool,
Training to correct the diver's swimming posture can be performed.Moreover, by jetting water from the wake-up device, it is possible to reproduce the flow of water equivalent to the tide in the water. A useful effect such as being able to perform is brought about.
