The water is connected to a drinking water basin and is therefore constantly monitored. The dive site is also suitable for free-diving, a free-diving platform is available. The Boschmolenplas was the first freshwater excavation in Europe with a reefball project. The reefballs provide shelter for all kinds of fish and other marine life.
