Deep Belgian quarry with walls, caverns, and training objects.
Deep Belgian quarry with walls, caverns, and training objects.
Dongelberg is a deep quarry dive in Jodoigne with steep walls, caverns, and submerged objects that make the layout easy to remember. Divers come here for the quarry terrain: cars, a van, a plane, and other training features turn it into a structured dive rather than an open-water drift. Expect cold inland water, paid entry, and fixed opening hours. It suits steady navigation, buoyancy practice, and divers who like depth and a defined route.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The quarry works well for steady navigation and buoyancy practice, with walls, caverns, and a mix of submerged objects that make route-finding easy to follow.
Freediving
Not a strong freedive site. The depth and cold water make it better for scuba and buoyancy practice.
Snorkeling
Not a natural snorkel site; the interest is below the surface in the walls and submerged objects.
