The Egmond New Year dive is the coziest New Year dive in the Netherlands<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Starting the new year fresh and healthy is best done in Egmond aan Zee. You can only get the now coveted “Egmond” hat once a year. Be there by pre-ordering your tickets. With this hat, everyone can see that you had the guts to dive in and have
\n donated to the ALS Foundation.<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

A true act of heroism! The Egmond warm-up is a true celebration in itself and this will stay with you for a long time. After the New Year’s swim, you’ll get a cup of pea soup, made fresh by one of the
\n many local restaurants.<\/a>

The spectacle that is New Year’s Day dive<\/h2>\n

How it began<\/h3>\n

The Egmond New Year dive was traditionally organized by the Derp Divers until 2005 before Entrepreneurs Association de Eendracht) took over. Also in that association, Willem Butter was the man of the first hour. “I was diving at a club in IJmuiden and read a piece in the Contact about Egmond people who were doing pool diving. I joined that and soon we established the Derp Divers<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Surely it all has to do with symbolism as well. You are diving into the new year. But it also stands for: you start the new year off right with a nice drink with friends.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Conviviality in Egmond on New Year’s Day<\/h3>\n

“Actually, the fun before and after is just as important as the dive.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Crazy<\/h3>\n

What possesses someone to dive into the sea in winter temperatures? “It’s disaster to do, but it also gives an incredible thrill,” Butter of the Derp Divers knows. “I have dived in all conditions, with snow, at minus nine degrees and with wind force eight.<\/p>\n
