About Bosbad
Bosbad is the Hoogersmilde outdoor pool: a managed, shallow, shore-access training venue rather than a natural underwater site. Dive use here is mostly about controlled skills, trim, and comfort in a clear pool environment, with local instructors sometimes running open-water courses. Plan around seasonal opening hours, pool rules, and the fact that the attraction is the facility itself, not marine scenery.
