The SETT (Submarine Emergency Tratining Tank) in Gosport is no longer open to the public. Up until recently it was used a lot by the Free Diving clubs as its the only indoor 30m warm water pool in the UK.
In answer to a previous question the "tanks" are actually two air lock hatchs at the bottom which are for the the submarines escape training (which is what the tower was built for).

It's in Gosport, south east England. Do a search for "sett portsmouth" in Google and it should come up with the website.
Sadly, I don't think they allow recreational divers to use it any more :-(

No, it isn´t Nemo. This one has 25 meters Deep. Nemo has 33 meters, many levels, a little cave and it is larger.

When I dived it, it was 30m deep :-)
But no, it's not as deep as Nemo33. Or as much fun I'd guess, as Nemo is purpose built for recreational diving and the SETT isn't.

Yeah, it's the build up of pressure on your inner ear. Although you can't see it on the video, as we decend we'll hold our noses occasionally and gently blow through them to equalise the pressure - Usually before it starts to hurt!
