Le Serpent

The primary life here are Lobsters and Crabs.  The lobsters were HUGE (2+ feet) and they were everywhere.  There were many soft shell crabs 6-8 inches in diameter as well.
There is a platform at 9M with a buoy.  This is good for training etc and there is a railing around the platform. 
There is a wall of Reef-Balls to the south and east of the platform.  These are like 3 foot metal whiffle balls and home to dozens of lobsters and crabs.  Very interesting to explore and peek in all the holes.

Entry and exit are easy, just be careful as the rocks can get a bit slick.

One last note:  Tanks can be filled 24/7 from an outside "vending machine" or automat located on the south end of the hotel/restaurant.  The machine takes 0.50€ coins, and usually needs 5-6 to fill a 10L tank.  Put the coins in one at a time, and you'll get a "squirt" of air for each one.  There is a pressure gage on the machine, but it seems to read a little low.  In any event, the machine won't fill past 200 bar, so the worst case is that you put in one coin too many, and get no more air.


Park on the West side of the Marina in the town of Scharendijke.  From there it's a short walk over the Dijke and down the rocky point.  Enter the water at the end of the point.

a wreck suck just to the East of the tower on the second jetty.  To access, enter from the first point, descend to 10M, and follow this line until the contour turns sharply to the south (150 meters of so) then get to about 8M and continue on the contour.  You will get to the wreck before you know it.  It's completely covered in shells and his home to Lobster, Crab, and Tadpole Fish.   The wreck itself is a 5m metal boat that rests in 4-9 M of water.  It's upright, and sits at a 45 degree bow low attitude.

Parking is possible at the parking lot of the Frittuur. Like most of the Zeeland dive sites, you'll have to make the stairway over the dike (entrance is about 30m behind the chippy). On the other side of the dike, head right, just across the sandy beach. There's a pool you need to swim through (the water isn't the best and in summertimes it's muddy; beware your gear is fixed propperly - visibility in this area is about 0!) Exit the pool and start / enjoy your dive along the wall.
