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. It's one of the largest shallow freshwater wrecks in Western Europe and suitable for a wide audience. The Kiekuut is just as much a wreck for beginners as it is for wreck divers, experienced underwater photographers or diving instructors. Located at the site is Hotel/Restaurant De Bungelaar with club rooms for a local dive club. The Bungelaar strives to maintain good relations with divers. Hotel guests can watch you enter the water from the terrace. Be discreet while undressing.
Particulars
Enter the water from the parking lot. Besides the wreck there are also some reefballs to be found an and some high peat walls. After your dive, you're welcome at the hotel/restaurant for snacks and drinks. The Kiekuut 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. Beware of pleasure boats. Parking is only allowed in the rear parking lane. This way you won't disturb anyone and the most convenient parking spots remain free for hotel guests. Dress out of sight, behind your car.
