This dive site, Duikpark Zoetermeer, offers a unique freshwater diving experience centered around a planned underwater course. Divers can follow a path connecting various sunken objects, including a notable huge crab sunk in 2021. This artificial reef environment provides structure and points of interest for navigation, making it accessible and engaging for all skill levels.
The lake is teeming with life, notably extensive patches of zebra mussels which act as a food source, attracting a variety of fish species. While specific fish species aren't named, the presence of these mussels indicates a healthy ecosystem for smaller aquatic life.
With its shallow depths, Duikpark Zoetermeer is suitable year-round, though warmer months may offer better comfort and potentially improved visibility. It's an excellent site for beginners to practice skills and for freedivers to explore. Divers should be prepared for typical freshwater conditions, including potentially cooler temperatures.
