Deventer
N.V.v.O. Jacques Yves Cousteau, Deventer, The Netherlands. We are a diving club with about 90 members. We dive mostly in former sand-winning-locations in the east of the Netherlands. We have an "underwater-house" and a "club building" of our own. We also dive in the North Sea, the Wadden Sea (a shallow sea in the north), Oosterschelde and Grevelingen (an open and a closed sea-arm of the North Sea). Sometimes we organize a dive-trip to more exotic locations. This year, 1995, we exists for 25 years. We are proud to carry the name of a famous man in the diving society, Jacques Yves Cousteau, who gave us permission to use his name under the condition that we never take part in underwater-hunting and respect the underwater-environment.

Voorschoten
PALMARE - Our club has about 50 members and is called Palmare. We're diving mostly in in the south of Holland, Grevelingen - a closed part of the North Sea, and Oosterschelde - which is still part of the North Sea. For our fresh-water diving we're going to several small lakes in the neighbourhood. The wather of the Oosterschelde might be dark, but there is a lot to see! Guido Selling GSLG@CBS.NL
