Sheltered freshwater shore dive with lots of fish.
Kraaijenbergse Plas 7 is a sheltered freshwater shore dive with a gently sloping, vegetation-covered bottom and a busy beach entry at De Beers. The site is known for schooling perch, pike, pike-perch, and smaller fish life, with the best dives often coming when the lake is quiet and the water is clearer. It is easy to enter from shore, but summer crowds and pleasure craft can change the mood quickly, so patient, slow searching usually pays off more than depth.

Scuba Diving
Easy shore dive with a gradual slope and lots of fish if you stay quiet near the vegetation. Best for relaxed lake diving and photography.
Freediving
The shallow shore access can work for calm-condition freediving, but Kraaijenbergse Plas 7 is better known as an easy scuba lake.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is possible close to shore, though the better sightings usually come a little farther out.
