Dive-site story
Carrière de Dongelberg is a flooded quartzite quarry located in Walloon Brabant, Belgium. Divers descend along sheer stone walls and dramatic rock terraces leftover from extraction operations. Several submerged training platforms, mining artifacts, and underwater structures dot the basin, making it a staple site for training and deep dive workshops.
