Wisselend zicht, bij een aantal bomen twee snoeken en meerdere brasems gezien. Helaas ook een snoek met een haak met snoer in zijn bek

Duikstek weer toegankelijk. Lijkt er erg op dat er heel veel zand en puin is gestort, slecht zicht. Top bomen zichtbaar, veel snoek(baars)
MILLIGERPLAS WEST
Duikstek met een oerbos. Er is ooit onderzoek naar gedaan door de Landelijke Werkgroep Archeologie Onderwater.
MILLIGERPLAS WEST
Nederland, Overijssel
Milligerplas West is an interesting dive site with underwater the remains of a prehistoric forest. Dive along the many old trees while shining your lamp between the canopies. The trees lie between 7 and 8 meters and almost reach to the surface. They appear like huge dark shapes during your dive. The branches are covered with freshwater sponges and lost fishing gear. Here and there you'll spot a pike or a carp. Continue your dive along the forest in a southerly direction. In about 30 minutes you'll reach a climbing rack on a sand bank on approximately 3,5 meters. The rack was once moved by divers from Milligerplas East to this location.

Milligerplas West can be reached in 20 minutes from Milligerplas East. Follow a course of 273 degrees out and 93 degrees back. There is not much known about the the old forest.

Warnings
Be careful at the underwater forest in Milligerplas West. The trees are full of fishing gear and the branches break off easily. Advanced recommended.
