Private freshwater training site with pike, carp, and eels.
Access depends on the local dive school or affiliated training use.
Engelermeer Duikschool is a private inland training lake where a walk-in entry leads to an offshore platform and a band of dense vegetation that makes the site useful for school dives and freshwater wildlife watching. It is best treated as a controlled local training site rather than an open recreational lake, so pike, carp, and eels are the main draw instead of coral or wreck structure.
