About this dive site

This dive site, known as Bussloo bruggetje, serves as a pleasant alternative to the busier Bussloo Schurinkhof. Navigation is straightforward, primarily centered around the bridge poles, which are the only significant underwater structures. The area is relatively narrow, with the bottom quickly rising towards the sides. There is no notable history or specific story behind this site, rather it's a calm freshwater dive.

In terms of marine life, the site is known for frequent sightings of pike, especially around the bridge's structure. Divers also have a good chance of encountering carp here, which is a less common sight in other parts of Bussloo. During summer months, the dive site experiences significant plant growth, providing habitat and cover for various aquatic species.

The best time to visit this dive site would likely be outside the peak summer months to avoid the heaviest plant growth, although summer offers warmer water. It's ideal for leisurely dives and underwater photography focusing on freshwater fish. For freedivers, its shallow depth makes it excellent for practicing breath-hold techniques. Divers should be mindful of the rapid changes in bottom topography near the edges.
