Practical info: how your visit works

Park at the De Brug centre car park (Otegemstraat 238, Zwevegem). From there it is about a 350-metre walk along the canal towpath to the tank entrance.

Transport carts are available for heavy gear (coin deposit, maximum 2 divers per cart; carts are not allowed in the lift).

On arrival everyone must check in at the cafeteria (level 0), up to 15 minutes before your session. You will be told which changing-room floor to go to. If you paid online or with credits, your entry is already settled; pay-on-site bookings (chosen when booking) and extras such as rental equipment are settled at the counter — cash or by card (Bancontact, Visa, Maestro).

The changing rooms are reachable by stairs or lift. Lockers are provided for valuables (50-cent coin deposit). Dive cylinders are stored in the corridor, not in the changing rooms. Toilets and showers on both levels.

You dive with your own clean equipment, or rent gear on site. Two compressors are available for filling cylinders.

The dive platform (level 3) is only accessible by lift, from 15 minutes before your session. On arrival, pass through the wading basin and take a shower in full equipment. Report to the platform supervisor and wait for their signal before entering the water.

10 minutes before the end a signal announces the start of the ascent; leave the water no later than the end time. Check out with the supervisor and return via the stairs.

After changing, leave the changing rooms no later than 30 minutes after the end of your session and leave everything clean. Check out at the cafeteria — settle any outstanding amount there (if not paid online), get your logbook stamped and debrief with your buddies.

By booking and/or using the dive tank, all users agree to the internal rules (RIO). The first-aid room and the emergency door may never be used as a passage to the dive platform.
