This dive site, Colijnsplaat Oostnol, is located in the Netherlands and accessed via a pier. Divers cross a dike, walk to the pier's point, and enter the water, swimming straight out towards the shore. Little historical information is available, and it's primarily known for its sandy bottom. Navigation is straightforward, following the pier and then swimming out.
The site is a haven for sand-dwelling marine life. Divers can expect to encounter various flatfish species, shrimp, and other crustaceans that thrive in sandy environments. While the landscape itself is simple sand, the focus is on the intricate small creatures inhabiting it.
Due to its exposed location, the site's visibility is highly sensitive to weather conditions, making calm days the best time to visit for optimal underwater viewing. For divers and freedivers, focusing on macro photography or patient observation of the sand bottom will yield the most rewarding experience. Expect potentially reduced visibility after storms or strong winds.
