The two pits at Strandpark Slijk-Ewijk in the Waal floodplain: the south lake (Gat van Hage, to about 33-36 m) entered from the beach, and the Noordplas entered over a grass bank from the same car park; shorelines, piers and beaches from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL), entry positions from duikbuddygezocht.nl. The site is named only 'Slijk-Ewijk', so both entries are drawn. Duikplaats.net describes walls west of the beach entry (shoreline on the right) and a wreck in the south lake, and reeds, clay blocks from 5 m and jagged clay walls west of the Noordplas entry; the wall markers are placed only by that direction and the wreck's position is not known, so it is left out. The site coordinates are the village of Slijk-Ewijk, about 1.2 km south-east of the lakes.

A sand and gravel pit in the floodplain of the Waal at Slijk-Ewijk, between Nijmegen and Tiel. River-valley gravel extraction goes deep, and this one is one of the deepest diveable waters in the country.
29.2 m is the deepest Dutch dive in this log, and nine dives here between August 2018 and August 2026 make it one of the sites that only starts appearing once the diving got technical — it is not a beginner's lake.
