Dive-site story
Created through peat excavation and sand extraction, this popular Dutch lake system features dramatic submerged peat formations that drop into dark silty depths. Divers enter primarily from dedicated island access points where an underwater park of sunken boats, training platforms, and small wrecks sits alongside natural clay walls. Visibility shifts dramatically through distinct thermoclines as you descend into the colder lower layers.
Steep carved peat banks and vertical underwater clay walls
Submerged training courses featuring sunken boats, cockpits, and vehicle wrecks

Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Warmer water and peak aquatic plant growth draw more fish to the shallow peat banks during late spring and summer.
