DE STOEP
Nederland, Limburg
Diving at De Stoep means watching fish! At least if visibility is good and there is winter clustering going on. Winter clustering is when a large number of fish gather in one place where the water temperature and current are fairly constant. Pike, perch, bream, carp, roach cane, gobies, all mixed together. The circumstances are special. You are dive into a dark tunnel, in flowing water, beneath a round about. Be discreet and leave no mess behind. You are in the middle of a village. Not suitable for groups!
Particulars
Enter de Stoep at the northeast side with a ladder (2.5 meters, see map). Hide the ladder, you'll need it to come out of the water. Then swim out to the entrance of the tunnel to get used to the flow. Now turn on your lamp and your (film) camera and swim back and forth in the tunnel.
Warnings
Don't dive in de Stoep with groups! Rising and breathing in the tunnel without regulator is possible. Yet sufficient diving experience is required. From May till October mowing takes place under water every 5 weeks. Always take your diving lamp.
