Kind of both... but apparently it is close enough to "open water" for PADI.
It's technically an "artesian spring" with a man made top on it. It's a little bizarre - because from the top it looks like a huge swimming pool... but then when you look in it it has a natural rock/sand/fishpoop bottom, algae, fish, turtles etc.
