Dive-site story
Carrière de Rochefontaine is a flooded red marble quarry located in the province of Namur. Steep rock walls plunge vertically into deep, dark water, making it a staple site for technical training, deep dive practice, and club outings in Wallonia. A variety of submerged artifacts rest along the tiered ledges and the silty quarry basin, accompanied by large freshwater fish introduced over the years.
