This dive site, Kistersnol, is located in the Netherlands, accessible after a long walk from the parking at “Borrendamme“ on the Boerenweg. Underwater, divers will find a bottom nicely strewn with blocks and oysters. Its proximity to the storm surge barrier means divers should expect strong currents and very short turnaround times, requiring careful dive planning.
Kistersnol is a paradise for crustacean lovers. Divers can expect to encounter various North Sea crabs, lobsters, spider crabs, and even the occasional Galathea crayfish, alongside the abundant oysters that adorn the bottom.
Given the strong currents and short turnaround, it's essential to plan dives around slack tide to maximize enjoyment and safety. This site is particularly appealing to macro photographers and those interested in marine invertebrates. Its unique topography and diverse small marine life make it a rewarding, albeit challenging, dive.
