This dive site is the Bosbad open-air swimming pool in Hoogersmilde, Netherlands. It offers a unique opportunity for extremely shallow water diving, effectively serving as a controlled environment for basic skill practice or a fun, unusual "discovery tour" to find the deepest point, which is only 2 meters. There is no natural underwater navigation or complex history, as it is a recreational facility, primarily a swimming pool.
Marine life is virtually non-existent, as it is an artificial swimming pool. The description explicitly states, "you won’t see much life besides a few drowned wasps." No aquatic plants or fish are present in this man-made environment.
The best time to visit would be during the summer months when open-air swimming pools are typically operational and the water is warmer. It's an ideal location for divers to practice buoyancy, mask clearing, or other fundamental skills in a safe, confined, and very shallow environment. Freedivers can use it for static or dynamic apnea practice in minimal depth. Don't forget to "take a spin on the slide" for some pre- or post-dive fun!
