About this dive site

This dive site is located in South Holland, specifically at the Reeuwijkse Plassen. It’s a popular spot with varying visibility and offers a unique experience due to its long peat wall—potentially the longest of its kind in the Netherlands. The area includes a substantial diving platform utilized by training schools. Divers can explore a short tire track leading to an underwater trail, and it’s worth visiting the 'Whisperforest' area, which is known for hosting sizable pike. Access to the water is via a wooden jetty. Be sure to stay within the designated diving area as indicated on the map; this area also accommodates surfers and other recreational users.
