Freshwater shore dive in Drenthe with a deep lake, sand bottom, and underwater signs and statues on a marked trail.

About Gasselterveld

Gasselterveld is a deep freshwater lake dive site in Drenthe with clear water, fine sand, and a gently sloping bottom. Divers enter from the shore on a controlled access system and follow an underwater line trail marked with signs, statues, and other objects. Natural aquatic life is limited, so the appeal is the clean water, simple navigation, and the unusual training-style layout.
