Dive-site story
Formed from a flooded opencast dolomite quarry near Henley on Klip, this inland freshwater site serves as one of the primary training hubs for divers across the Highveld. Submerged features include training platforms, sunken vehicles, a bus wreck, and an aircraft fuselage connected by guide lines. Due to the enclosed quarry setting, divers experience distinct thermoclines that change throughout the year.
