GAT VAN ALEM
Nederland, Gelderland
The Gat van Alem is best known for the wreck of Alem. The wreck lies right in front of the harbor mouth at a depth of 7 meters and is about 40 meters long. It's probably an old houseboat, recognisable by such features as a terrace or aft deck with railing. There are sufficiently large openings to enter the wreck, but this seems inadvisable. There are also a number of small wrecks in the Gat van Alem. The Gat van Alem is also known for its huge catfish, pikeperch and eels.
Particulars
The Gat van Alem is located in Sint Andries Kanaal next to De Maas Marina, in the municipality of Maasdriel. The site can be reached via a meadow. Walk through the gate at the marina into the meadow towards the bank. Make sure you lock the gate to prevent cattle from escaping.
Warnings
Diving in Alem is prohibited. Diving used to be possible with the permission of the harbor master. There is a lot of pleasure boating here and the site is close to the harbor mouth. Poor visibility at high tide in the river Maas.
