About this dive site

This dive site, Slag Baardmannetje, offers a unique diving experience due to its varied underwater landscape. The area contains numerous old wreckage parts, a few grab arms, and the remains of the ‘renowned’ Amsterdamned shipwreck. A significant feature is a large artificial reef contributing to the diverse environment. You can often observe a variety of marine life, including common flatfish, crabs, and shrimp. Occasionally, rainbow trout and herring may also be spotted. Access to the water is provided via a dock. The site benefits from being sheltered by Slag Bearded Man, allowing for comfortable diving even in strong winds. However, it’s important to note that Slag Bearded Man currently experiences deteriorating water quality; caution should be exercised due to the potential presence of blue-green algae during the summer months.
