About Gat van Cortenoever
Gat van Cortenoever is a shallow freshwater lake in the Cortenoever area, where the dive stays focused on reed-lined banks, a soft sand-and-clay bottom, and open water edges rather than wrecks or installed objects. It works best as a quiet nature dive: carp, pike, perch, and smaller fish show up along the reeds, while the deeper middle is less rewarding.
