Marico Oog
Clear freshwater spring with pools and training grid
Farm access leads to a clear freshwater spring with interconnected pools, a training grid, and shallow sections that reward precise buoyancy control.
About Marico Oog
Marico Oog is a clear freshwater spring on the Grootfontein farm with several interconnected pools, a deeper main basin, and shallower satellite pools spread across the site. A training grid in the larger pool makes it useful for practice, while the shallow sections reward careful buoyancy and trim. Water lilies and clear water make it a scenic inland dive, but the site is more about controlled freshwater exploration than big-water conditions.
