STRANDGAPER
Nederland, Zuid Holland
Dive site Strandgaper in the Zevenhuizerplas is a beautiful dive site with clear water and a beautiful underwater nature. Dive along the lush vegetation and huge clay blocks full of underwater life. They lie at depths between 5 and 6 meters and run parallel to the buoy line. There are also some objects such as a canoe, an information board and wreck, the Eagle. The name Strandgaper originates from the nearby restaurant Strandgaper.
Particulars
Enter the water from the beach in front of restaurant de Strandgaper. You will be able to stand up to the buoy line, which is only here during the summer season. From there the bottom gradually descends to a depth of 14 meters. Both in the green areas, which end at a depth of 5 meters, and at the clay blocks you will find a lot of marine life. Large schools of young fish hide between the plants. The clay blocks are the domain of crayfish, eels and other small marine life.
Warnings
The bottom of Strandgaper consists of loose sediment. Good buoyancy is important. Strandgaper lies close to a nudist beach. The recreational beach can be crowded in the summer.
