Dive-site story
Formed by sand and peat excavation, Spiegelplas is an inland lake renowned among Dutch divers for its distinct underwater peat formations. Submerged peat walls drop steeply into deeper water, sheltering freshwater fish around submerged trees and training platforms. Groundwater seepage contributes to water clarity that regularly exceeds typical inland standards in the region.
