LA CROISETTE
Belgie
La Croisette is a small quarry with steep walls that go straight down. They used to mine red marble in this quarry. At the bottom you can still see the rails, buckets and an electric winch. Dive along the craters and caves in the walls and enjoy the many domesticated carp. Take note of the opening times. Registration required. Paid diving.
Particulars
La Croisette's entry point can be reached via a narrow dirt track. A monster sturgeon lives here, try to spot him. Carp can be found at the left side in the quarry, near the net in the shallow water. Stay down quietly, they will come to you. They are very tame.
Warnings
There must always be one fully equipped buddy team on the pontoon standby, incase of emergencies. Oxygen present. Make sure you check opening times. Registration required. Paid diving. Depth depends on rain fall.
