This dive site is Sportcentrum De Waterkanten, an indoor swimming pool facility in Lisse, Netherlands. It features a 25-metre competition pool, an instruction pool, a recreational pool, a whirlpool, and a rapid. As a confined water environment, navigation is straightforward within the clearly defined pool areas. There is no natural history or underwater story associated with this site, as its primary purpose is recreation and sports, including often serving as a location for scuba diving training and confined water skill development.
Being a chlorine swimming pool, this dive site explicitly states that there are no plants or fish. Therefore, divers will not encounter any marine animals or aquatic vegetation typically found in natural dive locations. The underwater environment consists solely of pool tiles and artificial structures like lane lines or the occasional diving board.
This site is suitable for diving year-round due to its indoor nature and heated water. It is an excellent location for beginner divers to complete their confined water training, practice skills, or test new equipment in a safe and controlled setting. Freedivers can also utilize the various pools for breath-hold practice or static apnea training. Tips for divers include bringing all necessary gear, as there are no rental facilities specific to diving on site.
