De Nekker
De Nekker: club-oriented freshwater lake dive with training platforms
Local operator required
The site is club-based, so a local club or invited-guest arrangement is part of the access model.
Beach entry leads to platforms, a wreck, and a pyramid for buoyancy practice. Access is club-based, so check club days before planning a trip.
About De Nekker
De Nekker is a sheltered freshwater lake dive in Mechelen with three training platforms, a rope route to objects, and a layout that suits buoyancy practice, skill sessions, and night dives. It is a club-oriented site with strong on-site facilities and a shallow-to-mid-depth profile, but visibility can fall after heavy rain or in spring, so timing matters more than tide or swell.
