About this dive site

This dive site is Carrière Trois Fontaines, a former quartzite quarry transformed into an enchanting underwater world in Belgium. Divers navigate through the rock formations and features left from its mining history. The site offers an exclusive setting, with a floating pontoon for convenient access and event organization, providing a unique freshwater diving experience.

The quarry is home to diverse freshwater aquatic life. Divers can encounter French and American crayfish scuttling along the bottom, along with various fish species including sturgeon, perch, and carp. Additionally, in season, the rare and intriguing freshwater jellyfish can be observed, adding a unique element to the dive.

The best time to visit Carrière Trois Fontaines for divers is during the warmer months when the freshwater jellyfish are active and visibility is often at its best. Its calm, contained environment makes it ideal for training dives and leisurely exploration for all levels. Freedivers will also find the 17-meter maximum depth suitable for practice, with plenty to see in the shallower areas for snorkelers.
