General access to the lakes domain is free, but scuba is managed by CPBEH, boat transfers and air fills have separate listed charges, and the two main Plate Taille visitor car parks became paid in 2026. No marine-park or maritime conservation tag applies to this inland Belgian reservoir, and no lake-wide recreational dive permit can be inferred from general access. Exact CPBEH scuba entry and membership participation tariffs were not confirmed from its current operator pages. Lake authority; center; 2026 parking.
