Remarks:  > 10 divers. Going clockwisestaying mainly at average depth of 6 mtr. Visibility thoughout varies enormously. At  southeast small beach more and taller Elodea (Waterpest) than at the South (big) beach. Regardless of the many swimmers, visibility is oke along the beach. Narrow area is the steepest going almost vertical at some point at the south. I thought I saw another boatlike shape, but it was a clay plate after rubbing the mussels off.In the shade areas the visibility is better than in the sunny areas. 
Rise in nitrate and carbondioxide levels are significant!!! see watersample table at righthand side!!
