About this dive site

This dive site is accessible by parking at the Heerekeet and harbour Flowers, then walking to the end of the dam to enter the water. Divers typically dive back along the dam, exploring a diverse underwater landscape. The site features a wreck, and the terrain varies significantly from stone and rocks to extensive oyster beds and sandy patches, offering a varied exploration experience. No specific historical details of the wreck are provided in the description.

The site is home to a lot of typical Oosterschelde marine life. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of smaller creatures, crustaceans, and fish that thrive in the rich ecosystem of the oyster beds and diverse bottom structures. Common sightings include crabs, lobsters, shrimp, various flatfish, gobies, pipefish, nudibranchs, and anemones, making it a good spot for macro photography.

The best time to visit this dive site is during high tide to potentially avoid reduced visibility, which can be an issue at low tide due to silt stirred up from the harbour and inlet. Divers should be prepared for cold water conditions typical of the Netherlands and be aware of potentially variable currents in the Oosterschelde. The diverse environment offers plenty to explore for recreational divers, particularly those interested in macro life and unique underwater landscapes.
