Diving in the Grevelingen Meer (Lake) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | The Grevelingen Meer (Lake) used to be an open estuary, connecting the east of the Volkerak with the fresh waters of the Rhein and the Maas. |
 | | Due to massive desalinisation and the accompanying death of many of the marine creatures, it was decided to ensure that the Grevelingen Meer changed back into salt water, and to this end a sluice was built into the Brouwers Dam in 1984, and a lift sluice in the Grevelingen Dam at the same time. |
 | | Due to the decision to maintain the salt-water character of the Grevelingen Meer, and the absence of current, it is and remains a very interesting and safe diving area, considered safe for all levels of diving experience. |
