Dive-site story
Put van Ekeren, situated in the Muisbroek domain north of Antwerp, is among the most popular freshwater training and recreational dive locations in Flanders. Formed from historical sand excavation, the lake features structured access platforms, clear clay formations, and dense submerged charophyte meadows in the shallows. Underwater navigational routes lead past various artificial attractions, including small training platforms, sunken wrecks, and underwater art installations.
Extensive weed beds sheltering juvenile fish and predatory pike
Submerged training platforms and sunken objects connected by guide ropes
Convenient shore access with dedicated divers' entry steps and pontoon ramps
Clay banks and peat shelves offering distinct topography

Seasonality
Warmer waters and active fish life peak during late spring and summer, though winter diving offers superior water clarity.
