Dive area at the Schurinkshof steiger on the south side of Bussloo: a guide line joins the bandenrif, the bouwsteiger (6.5 m), the two buses, the little boat wreck, platforms, the onderwaterhuis, the Kees Knol monument and the car at 10.5 m, on the OpenStreetMap shoreline; positions and the 5 and 10 m contours are approximate. The site point sits in a car park about 900 m south-east of the steiger.

Bussloo is a 150-hectare recreation lake at Voorst, between Apeldoorn and Zutphen, created in the 1970s when sand was taken out for the A1 motorway and the area was then landscaped into a park with beaches, a naturist area and a dive site.
Maximum in this log is 11.9 m — shallow, fresh, and reliable. There are platforms, sunken objects and a marked training area.
Thirty dives between June 2005 and July 2026. The first of them, dive 8 in the whole log, is from three weeks after the first Egypt trip; the most recent is twenty-one years later. Only Grasbroek and Zandeiland 4 have more.
