Milligerplas is a freshwater shore dive with containers and platforms.
Milligerplas is a freshwater shore dive built around a structured underwater course with containers, platforms, and other placed objects. The east-side entry is easy, the water stays calm, and the site works well for buoyancy practice, night dives, and guided fun dives. A deeper hole adds a second layer for divers who want to extend the dive beyond the training objects.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Overhead objects and a deeper hole make this a training site; stay clear unless you are trained and briefed.
Access Restrictions
Use the east-side Werkerlaan access and stair jetty; overhead swim-throughs require training.
Legal Notes
Free access, but follow the marked route and do not add unapproved lines through the objects.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good for buoyancy, line-following, and skills practice around platforms, containers, and the deeper hole.
Freediving
Only the shallowest section suits breath-hold practice; the containers and deeper objects are for scuba.
Snorkeling
The shallow edge can be snorkeled, but the main attraction sits on scuba depth.
