North Holland

North Holland covers a coastal region along the North Sea with a mix of inland waters and shallow marine dives. The coastal towns and offshore sandbanks offer straightforward at-anchor or boat dives with clear water and temperate conditions, while the province includes several freshwater sites such as the Dommel river system. Centered around Amsterdam and coastal hubs, the region is more about easy-access shore entries, transitional zones, and a few notable wrecks and reefs near the coastline. Expect resident marine life typical of temperate Dutch waters, including wrasse, gobies, and schooling fish, with visibility and currents varying seasonally. The area provides reliable training and recreational dives with easy logistics for weekend trips from major Dutch cities.
