From the parking you can go straight into the water. It is a bit of a climb on the slippery rocks, but is not hard.  The sandy bottom is covered with rocks, which makes the life abundant and diverse. The slope goes down rather quick to about 30 meters. Lots of different nudibraches, anemones, big lobsters, a lot of crabs. Visibility is not always good, but it is a nice dive site. Be aware of the currents, you can only dive on the change of tides!!!

Burghsluis westelijke dam

The most famous dive site on the north of the Oosterschelde. Big parking, in the weekends very busy. Tidal water, diving on the moment between high and low tide is advised. You'll have a one hour window with no or moderate currents. Later the currents will be extremely strong and diving is dangerous. The Oosterschelde houses huge lobsters and lots of different fishes, such as sea bass. The pillars on the bridge are built are very nice to start your dive. You can snorkel to the pillar and go down there, the depth is approx. 12 metres on low tide. It is also possible to start from shore and swim out.  In May/June the catfish come here to mate and lay eggs. A very rare and beautiful site. You can see up to 30 catfish in one dive.

Use the turn of Tide for your dive or you might need a boat to pick you up later.
In April and May there is a great chance for giant cuddlefish.

Do not enter the Bridge, use the small road to the base of the Bridge.
