Filling Station

If you have a valid diving permit for the pond of Ekeren (1 or 3 years), you can register yourself on the AVOS website. You can only register if you have a NELOS membership or a valid diving permit number. After registration, you will have an account to log in and consult your permits. You can also renew your permit if it is an individual permit and not a permit that was purchased through your diving club. With your account, you can purchase online filling cards that will allow you to fill your dive bottle at the new filling station. Filling your dive bottle will be started by scanning a QR code linked to your diving permit, the same QR code you use to access the dressing rooms and toilets at the pond of Ekeren.
