PREEKHIL DE VAL 21
Nederland, Zuid Holland
Preekhil is a quiet dive site with an almost 'pristine' underwater nature and a beautiful wall full of Japanese oysters, sea anemones and sea squirt. The site is remote. You have to walk quite a distance from the car park on Blomweg to reach the entry point. A boat dive may be an alternative. Preekhil is one of the few dive sites on the northern side of the Grevelingen, so it actually belongs to the province of South Holland. Remarkably, visibility in Preekhil often differs from that of other dive sites in the Grevelingen. Beware, you are in a silence area accessible only from sunrise to sunset. Named after a spacious house overlooking Lake Grevelingen. Preekhil is also called de Val, not to be confused with dive site de Val in the Oosterschelde.
