In Lessines. But I don’t think you can visit it.
Haha good joke.
That one is probably “Carrière de Pont-à-Nôle”, but you can’t visit it. Most of them are quite dangerous as there are places where if you go swimming you can get “pushed to the bottom by the current” and people have died there.
La carrière de Bastogne, near the Bastogne war museum.

2 in Floreffe
The Carrière de l’Orient in Tournai is sometimes surprisingly blue. There’s some adventure park there, too.
Carrière du Pont-à-Nole in Charleroi, officially access is restricted though
If you go to a place like this, don’t swim in it. It’s extremely dangerous and the water is toxic.
In Lessines there is a diving school in one of the pits with safe water. But you have to make a reservation.

Some of the known scuba diving quarries, such as La Gombe, Vodelée, Floreffe, La Croisette, etc.. can be very blue at times.
yes, and bat shit dangerous!
Not sure what your plans are but please refrain from swimming in one of those and definitely no jumping from the ledge. I saw someone die due to heart failure because the water was incredibly cold below the surface.
One in incourt has the same clear water aswel
There is also one in France right over the border:

I used to go swim in a quarry like this near Dour festival.
I am a diver in Belgium and there are quite a few mostly in the walloons.
However I do not know any that are publicly accessible. These things are dangerous and not like a normal lake. Even divers in wet or drysuits have to be careful of the cold
Lessines
What makes it so blue? It’s so god-dam attractive
near the Dour festival site. People die there often from termal shock.
I once went to one near Charleroi (South East, easy to spot on satellite imagery) for a photography assignment. Damn near fell 20 m down. Careful people.
I remember this one, but its so long ago I wouldn’t know the exact place anymore.
For sure you can dive there, bit be aware of the temperature current.
