This year, the 44rd edition of the Furieade will be held in and around the historic city center of Maassluis. This beautiful city festival of Maassluis takes place from Wednesday, October 1 to Sunday, October 5, 2025. The HDS NL is joining the historic Diving and Salvage vessel ‘De Bruinvisch’. The “Bruinvisch” is the last survivor of a generation of pre-war salvage vessels of the so-called blazer type, a ship type that was originally used by fishermen on the South Holland islands. The ship was built on behalf of W.A. van den Tak’s Salvage Company, later Smit-Tak, and has had Maassluis as its home port and base for decades. Each year de ‘Bruinvisch’ and the helmet divers are reunited for demonstrations. This year we will be there on Saturday October 4th.
