Purmerend

Purmerend is a city in North Holland, Netherlands. While it is not a coastal diving hub, the area offers practical access points for divers through nearby coastal centers along the North Sea and the wider Dutch dive community. The Dommel river in the region is a freshwater resource rather than a diving site, so local diving activity focuses on training and day trips organized from nearby ports or centers. For divers, Purmerend serves mainly as a gateway to the robust Netherlands diving scene, including nearby fresh and saltwater options, shore dives, and access to well-rated Dutch dive centers.
