Dive-site story
Located in the Het Twiske recreation area just north of Amsterdam, this freshwater site sits along the eastern shore of the Stootersplas. Divers enter from a dedicated jetty or shoreline path into peat and sand terrain shaped by historical extraction. Underwater training platforms, small boat hulls, and artificial reef structures guide navigation across gradual drop-offs, making it a staple training ground for local Dutch dive clubs.
