Belgium

Boom

Boom is a small city in the province of Antwerp, Belgium. It sits inland near the Scheldt river basin and is not a coastal diving hub. Nearby diving opportunities are limited to local centers and occasional day trips, with most diving activity concentrated outside the city in larger coastal towns along the North Sea. For divers, Boom can work as a gateway to the wider Belgian dive scene, including freshwater options in the region and nearby riverine sites, but the city itself has no direct coastal diving access. Expect practical training or shore-based preparations if you’re using Boom as a base for a broader Belgian diving itinerary.
