Belgian quarry with carp and sturgeon watching.
Villers-deux-Eglises is a private, shore-access freshwater quarry with layered walls, shelves, and a calm basin that make it useful for practice and exploration. The site is known for carp and sturgeon, and its published weekend daytime and Tuesday or Thursday evening openings reward planned quarry sessions. It is a relaxed Belgian place for deliberate diving rather than current-driven water movement.
