This dive site is Openluchtzwembad De Slenken, an open-air swimming pool located near exit 24 "de Wijk" on the A28 in the Netherlands. It is an ideal facility for diving lessons and skill practice in a highly controlled environment. Navigation underwater is straightforward, essentially following the tiled bottom of the pool. As a man-made training facility, it has no historical context or natural features typical of a marine dive site. The pool includes both a shallower section and a deeper part suitable for various training scenarios.
Due to its nature as a swimming pool, Openluchtzwembad De Slenken offers virtually no marine life or natural aquatic plants. Divers will only encounter pool tiles and other divers engaged in training activities. The environment is sterile and designed purely for human interaction and skill development, not for observing ecosystems.
The best time to visit this dive site is during its operational hours for diving lessons or practice sessions. It is highly recommended for beginner divers, students, and instructors looking for a safe and predictable location to conduct confined water training, refresh skills, or test new equipment. Freedivers can also utilize the consistent depth for static or dynamic apnea training. The primary purpose of this site is educational and practical, offering no natural beauty but immense utility for diver development.
