EILAND 8
Nederland, Utrecht
Eiland 8 is known for its pike garden. The pike garden is a large area full of weed, on the west side of the island where you are guaranteed to encounter pike. There are sometimes huge specimens among them. That's not to say you won't spot other fish here. Further west, you encounter several wrecks and peat walls. To the east lies a large barge that was once used to transport reeds and crops. The barge is 16 meters long and 3.5 meters wide. You can enter the wreck. The engine room is still intact. On the northern side of Island 8, at a depth of 16 meters, lies 'Klein Wilnis. This is a beautiful diving environment full of massive peat formations.
