EILAND 9
Nederland, Utrecht
Eiland 9 (Island 9) is appreciated by divers because of its clear water and the fish-rich habitats. Dive along the green zones, peat walls and wrecks. The main wreck is called “Zestien Kwadraat”, a large sailing vessel suitable to enter. The wreck lies in the northeastern part of the dive site, at a depth of about 12 meters. More to the north at about 8 meters lies the 'Betonnen Wreck', where large pike are spotted.
Particulars
Enter Eiland 9 from the boat. There is more than only wrecks. On the south side of the Eiland 9 near the peat formations you will find a lot of pike and pike-perch. Eiland 9 is managed by Recreatieschap Stichtse Groenlanden.
