DE KUILEN MILL
Nederland, Noord Brabant
De Kuilen Mill is a fascinating dive site with varied visibility. If visibility is good you'll make one of your best dives in this region. Interesting are the historical bottom layers in the south-eastern part of the site. They are part of a fossil seabed which extends to different depths across the bottom. The layer is between 8 and 50 centimeters high and contains ancient shells and fossils of whales and sperm whales. However, caution is required. The walls are unstable and they can collapse if you dig into the bottom.
Particulars
Enter De Kuilen Mill from the beach. Swim out for 50 meters and hold on to a course of 90 degrees. The plant-rich bottom will slowly change into a sediment layer, followed by an imposing area of canyons, blocks and gorges. Look for fossil remains from ancient times as you inspect the earth layers. The prehistoric layer is recognizable by the abundance of triangle mussels, small shells and tubular shapes.
Warnings
Watch out for surfers in De Kuilen Mill. Beware of unstable walls, especially when you are digging for objects. Motorized vehicles prohibited.
