BOOTHELLING
Nederland, Zuid Holland
Dive site Boothelling is a beautiful dive site in the Zevenhuizerplas. An underwater nature of sandy bottoms, plants, clay formations and reed banks form the scenario. Spot large pike along the reed and follow the fist-thick eels at the clay walls. Close to the shore there are a couple of small islands where large schools of young fish hide. A night dive at Boothelling is highly recommended.
Particulars
Park at Brasserie de Blokhut and enter the water next to the via the steps next to the jetty. The bottom descends slowly to a depth of 7 meters, after which you quickly get to depth. In front of you lies a nice diving area with beautiful reed banks and lots of vegetation. Northwest (left) of the entrance you will find most of the clay walls and southeast (right) the islands. Most of the marine life can be spotted in the shallow water around the islands. This area is a perfect spawning ground. The clay blocks on the northwest side form a totally different biotope. The blocks and canyons are home to eels and crayfish.
Warnings
The bottom of Boothelling consists of loose sediment. Good buoyancy is important. Large temperature differences in the water. Beware of overhanging clay blocks. They can break off.
