Ellertshaar is a calm, shallow dive site located within the Vinkeveense Plassen lake system. Accessible directly from the shore, the site features a reef structure that provides navigation points for divers. Conditions are generally stable with no current, and visibility typically reaches 5 metres. Given the shallow depths, it serves as a suitable environment for those practising skills or completing initial open-water dives. As this is a Dutch inland lake, water temperatures can be low, particularly outside of the summer months, making appropriate thermal protection such as a drysuit or thick wetsuit advisable for year-round diving.

Check locally for current facility availability before you arrive, as onsite amenities can vary. Year-round accessibility makes this a convenient training site, but water temperature in Dutch inland lakes drops significantly in winter, so a drysuit or thick wetsuit is worth considering outside the summer months.
