This dive site, known as De Muur (The Wall), is located in the Netherlands around four distinct breakwaters with characteristic beaches situated between them. Divers gain entry to the water directly from these beaches, proceeding outwards to explore the ends of the breakwaters. These structures are notably overgrown and offer the primary points of interest, typically found at depths around 5 meters. While the main dive focuses on these breakwaters, the sandy bottom beyond them gradually slopes down to approximately 15 meters.
The vibrant underwater life at De Muur is predominantly concentrated on the beautifully vegetated breakwaters. These structures serve as a rich habitat for various small marine species, including numerous gobies, different types of eelpouts, and a variety of snails. The healthy aquatic flora supports a thriving ecosystem of macro-level organisms, making the site particularly rewarding for close-up observation.
De Muur is highly suitable for both snorkeling and freediving due to its shallow depths and accessible entry points. The best conditions for diving here are generally during calm weather, which enhances visibility. Given the limited parking availability, visitors are advised to arrive early, especially during popular times, to ensure access. Its manageable depths and easy entry also make it an excellent choice for beginner divers.
