Onderwaterpark Twiske on the Stootersplas (De Leers, by Paviljoen Twiske), assumed because it is the Twiske's main dive site; Kure-Jan Strand, 1 km to the north-east, is the alternative. Objects, IBC route markers (cubes), the five coloured guide-line routes and the 5/10/15 m contours, placed on the OpenStreetMap jetties and the underwater objects mapped in OSM; shoreline, jetties and beach are from OSM. Depths follow the contour bands and positions are approximate (±20 m). The site coordinate is about 3 km south of the dive site, so the drawing sits offset from the origin.

Het Twiske is a 650-hectare recreation area between Amsterdam and Zaanstad, laid out in the 1970s on former polder land — sand was dug for construction and the resulting water and islands were landscaped into a park.

One dive, 25 September 2016, to 7.1 m.
