Best for intermediate divers, 14-20m, shore entry.
Luinjeberd is a freshwater shore-entry site located in the Vinkeveense Plassen. The topography features a reef and wall structure that descends from 14 to 20 metres. Divers should be prepared for low visibility, typically ranging between 1 and 3 metres, which necessitates precise buoyancy control and navigation skills. Water temperatures fluctuate seasonally between 6 and 19 degrees Celsius, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The site is accessible year-round and permits night diving, which can be effective given the limited visibility. Due to the presence of reef and wall structures, divers are advised to carry a cutting tool to manage entanglement risks.
