Directions:Comming from highway A2 direction Eindhoven take the junction 28 to Best and follow the signs 'recreatiepark aquabest' Remark: at the trafficlights you have to turn left AFTER the bridge (the second trafficlights).
Other info:This is an good freedive lake, not deep but very good for teaching and having fun. There are training platforms and bouys, there is an underwater house and several other objects including some wrecks. All marked with bouys. For a guided tour you can contact info@immersion.nu

In the more quiet season large pikes (1.5m) are regulary seen at the platforms, a beautiful experience is night freediving in this period.

Information about the steel tank: Bottom at the location 19 meters Downside tank at 17 meters Upside tank 12 meters The tank can be entered, however this is not recomended for freedivers (overhead environment) The tank is marked at the surface by a triangular buoy. Before the diving spot for the tank there are three separate blue square buoys, all are above a platform from respectively 5 - 10 and 15 meters. The bottom ranges from 15 to 17 meters. From the diving point at the shore, a fifth buoy is seen at the right. De depth here is about 17m. At the surface steel drums are just under the surface. These drums are pulled down by a moderate anchor about 80cm in diameter, floating at about 12 meters.
