Dive-site story
De Baars, a flooded sand excavation lake east of Tilburg in North Brabant, is widely used for training and leisure dives. Peat banks and clay ridges step down into silty basins fitted with training platforms and wreck fixtures. In warmer months, aquatic vegetation flourishes across the shallows, drawing native freshwater fish into the weed stems.

Seasonality
Warmer months bring active fish and dense plant growth, while winter diving yields clearer visibility.
