Wreck Alley (a line from the 8 m sloop past three sailing boats to the motorboat wreck at 14-17 m), the Cessna, the other objects and the 12/18/21 m contours of 't Blauwe Meer; the shoreline and beach come from OpenStreetMap. Positions are approximate; objects without a known depth have none.

't Blauwe Meer at Loon op Zand is run by the Dive Company and you cannot simply turn up: diving is by appointment and reservation only.

Clear, pale-blue fresh water with visibility usually between 5 and 15 m, and a maximum depth of about 24–28 m. Big shoals of perch, large eels, pike and carp. On the bottom there is a Cessna aircraft wreck, a flexible underwater training rig, and Wreck Alley — a line connecting six wrecks. There is a beach entry and a duiktaxi to run divers out to different parts of the lake.

Two dives, 3 August 2013, to 8.1 m.

Position corrected September 2026. The workbook had this at Het Blauwe Meer in Dinxperlo, 101 km north-east, which turns out to be an open-air swimming pool 0.80 to 1.40 m deep — not somewhere you log two dives to 8 m. Identified by Dennis and confirmed against the duikersgids position for Loon op Zand.
