There's a number of divers signing up from Belgium so I wondered what is the diving like over there? What sort of dives are you doing? Where woudl you recommend?
Maybe we can set up a trip over there from the UK - a DIRX Euro gig sounds a lot better than Stoney 2006.
Any thoughts guys?
For a visitor the best place to dive would be the Oosterschelde. Visibility can vary, but quite a few interesting creatures. Officially this is part of Holland, but you will find at least as many Belgian numberplates (or even more) on the cars on the shore as Dutch plates. Oh, and some German cars too.
And Rick: if you dive with us you wil have to ask for a "donkere Leffe", as we are flemish speakers. Because of a lack of French-language DIR-sites, I am afraid there are no practically French speaking dir-divers, as far as we know. We are planning to inform the other half of the Belgian diving population about DIR, but nobody seems to have found time to make a satisfactory French site.
