Two Dutch freshwater dive lakes, with city history and easy shore-day add-ons
Pick an activity mode to compare signature sites, skill fit, and gear planning notes before you lock your trip.
Two named Leisurelands lakes anchor this short-drive circuit. Groene Heuvels near Ewijk is the more varied wreck-object and plant-life shore dive, with a park-published depth of 28 m. Berendonck near Wijchen has shallower maximum listed depth of 18 m but often murkier water, with an independently managed club dive area. Ordinary dives at the De Kaaiman area require advance contact. Neither lake is a seagoing or liveaboard destination.
Groene Heuvels shore-entry and object circuit
A documented shore-diving circuit with seasonal plant beds, submerged objects and linked underwater guide route; do not enter from the pavilion jetty.
Berendonck Aquavilla-side club dive area
The club-controlled dive area may be visited for ordinary open-water dives by advance arrangement; underwater-house or escape-room entry is currently suspended.
