Dive-site story
Carrière de Scouflény is a flooded limestone quarry located in Écaussinnes. It functions as a dedicated inland training and recreation site for divers throughout Belgium and northern France. Vertical rock faces plunge down to tiered silt bottoms, while several training platforms and artificial submerged objects provide navigational interest.
Steep limestone walls showing historical quarrying layers
Submerged training platforms and sunken objects placed for navigation exercises
Abundant freshwater fish roaming near the shallows and vegetated banks

Seasonality
Warmer surface layers and better ambient light make late spring through autumn the most comfortable period, though the site remains diveable year-round with appropriate thermal protection.
