DE KIEKUUT
Nederland, Noord Brabant
The Kiekuut is a former working vessel of the de-sanding company, Smals, measuring 27 by 6 meters. The ship was sunk in the Kraaijenbergse Plas 7 by the Stichting Onderwater Recreatie Cuijk on 25 March 2021 and is one of the largest shallow freshwater wrecks in Western Europe. The Kiekuut is very accessible and therefore suitable for a wide audience. Would you like to swim around a large wreck as a snorkeler or novice diver? The Kiekuut is just as much for you as it is for wreck divers, experienced underwater photographers or diving instructors who use the deck to practice with their students.
Particulars
The Kiekuut is located at a depth of 14 meters just in front of the old farmhouse, De Bungelaar. Swim out from dive site De Beers until the original entry point is accessible. The wreck served as a working vessel for many years before being sunk as a dive wreck in March 2021. The origin of the ship dates back to 1938 when it was built as a transport ship to dump waste into the sea. In 1971 the ship was converted into a sand dredger before being used as a maintenance vessel in the 1990s.
Warnings
Only wreck divers may enter the Kiekuut. Sailing school and pleasure boats in the neighborhood.
