DE ANKERBOOTJES
Nederland, Zuid Holland
Dive site De Ankerbootjes is nothing more than an alternative to dive site Slag Stormvogel. It's close by and no one dives here. As a result, visibility can reach up to 20 meters in winter time. The name De Ankerbootjes, Anchor boats. in English, refers to a couple of small anchor boats buried in the sand. They originate from the time when this lake was an important shipping route. They are 2 to 6 meters in size and they are more or less visible depending on sand movement.
Particulars
To reach dive site De Ankerbootjes, turn left before reaching the parking lot of Slag Stormvogel. Enter the water from the shore and swim out between the two breakwaters. You'll dive over a sandy bottom with hills and fields of seagrass before reaching the boats. The tranquility at this location doesn't just benefit visibility. There are also more reports of rainbow trouts and herrings. However, there is not much marine life except form some crabs and shrimps.
Warnings
Don't expect too much from De Ankerbootjes . Think of it as the quickest way to escape any crowds and poor visibility in Slag Stormvogel.
