Ankerplaats

★★★☆☆ (4)

The anchorage is located close to Bruinisse. A fairly shallow spot, nice as a first dive for beginners or other specific purpose. In the summer also used a lot as a swimming place for the locals.

Here you will find the classic life of the Grevelingen. Crabs, creek fen and everything that lives on a sandbank. Don’t expect too much of the underwater life here.

Zijpe (★3.3)

Diving between the hanging culture is a real must do! As a photographer this provides, especially on sunny days, a great spectacle! Please note, you are not allowed to dive freely here and you need permission.

Stoofpolder “Het Licht“ (★3.3)

Stoofpolder “Het Licht“ (★3.3)

This spot is nicknamed the Light, after the harbor light that is here. It is a beautiful reef and due to its location at the end of the Oosterschelde the current is minimal. Be careful! Too far to the southwest and you end up in the shipping channel.

Plaat van Oude Tonge (★3.4)

Plaat van Oude Tonge (★3.4)

You can only reach this spot by boat! It is beautiful diving over the bottom and along the mussel strings. Be careful, in windy weather many kitesurfers and without permission diving on mussel installations is not allowed.

Loswal (★3.8)

Loswal (★3.8)

You enter the water on the small sandy beach. Loswal is a shallow dive site, max. 15 meters, and you have to swim out quite far to reach some depth. It is therefore an ideal place for beginning divers or to do training.

Dreischor Rif (★3.9)

Dreischor Rif (★3.9)

A bit past the pumping station so just swim or with a boat dive you will find this beautiful untouched reef. Enjoy the dive and compare the differences between 2 to 15 meters.

Dreischor Gemaal (★3.8)

Dreischor Gemaal (★3.8)

This dive site is not subject to tides, so you can dive here all day long. From the stairs, you can dive both to the left and to the right. On the right is the pumping station, which is very nicely overgrown and sometimes produces attractive images for macro photographers.

Dreischor Frans Kokrif (★3.9)

Dreischor Frans Kokrif (★3.9)

Just before Dreischor Gemaal is another dive site. This is enhanced by the artificial reef that was built here a few years ago. Just like at Scharendijke and Den Osse, a ribbon of reef balls have been laid here. Parking is easy and via a staircase, over the dike, you come to a riser where you can go to the water.

Bommenede (★3.7)

Bommenede (★3.7)

The great added value of this spot is that you can easily park on the outside of the dike, so you don’t have to walk over it! Furthermore, the spot is quite shallow and you quickly dive towards the channel where diving is prohibited.

Bommenede Polder (★3.4)

Bommenede Polder (★3.4)

The spot is practically only accessible by boat. The remains of the village are little more than a pile of overgrown rubble. It may be worth diving here, but in the summer the location can be dangerous. The shipping channel and the busy pleasure boating pose a risk.

Kijkuit Polder (★3.7)

Kijkuit Polder (★3.7)

Kijkuit is shallow. The bottom consists of silt and swirls up quite easily. You can enter the water at various places, between the breakwaters it is very shallow. You can also enter the water at the end of the breakwater at the head of the dike, but watch the shipping channel.

Westenwind (★0.0)

Westenwind (★0.0)

This relatively unknown spot is a nice alternative when the surrounding spots are crowded. It is a relatively shallow spot, maximum about 2 meters. If you swim further you will come to the channel, please note; deeper than about 10 meters you will come to the channel and from there diving is prohibited.

Dolfijntje (★3.6)

Dolfijntje (★3.6)

Het Dolfijntje dankt zijn naam aan het voormalig drijvende restaurant en bijbehorende bak waarin een kijkje in de onderwaterwereld zichtbaar was. Het restaurant sloot in 2007 en is sinds de brand van 2009 verwijderd.

De Zeehond en De Rat (★3.3)

If you enter the water at Scharendijke “kabbelaar“ and continue diving along the wall you will come across 2 wrecks at some point. At 11 meters the Rat, a wreck of 14 meters and at 9 meters the Hond, a wreck of 10 meters.

Scharendijke “Kabbelaar“ (★3.7)

Scharendijke “Kabbelaar“ (★3.7)

You reach the dive site via a jetty. You can dive into the water and along the wall. You will find a platform and after a short swim also an artificial reef consisting of reefball, ideal to dive back towards the dike.

Scharendijke Haven (★3.4)

Scharendijke Haven (★3.4)

A short walk along the harbour brings you to the other staircase. On the Grevelingen side you will find the starting tower that was used in sailing competitions. In the water you dive along the dive, here you will come across the remains of an almost unrecognisable wreck. Attention to the harbour entrance

De Muur (★3.9)

De Muur (★3.9)

The dive site is located around the four breakwaters with the characteristic beaches in between. You can enter the water from the beaches and dive out to the ends of the breakwaters around 5 meters deep, which are beautifully overgrown. The bottom slopes down to about 15 meters. Limited parking spaces.

Arendshoofd (★3.2)

Arendshoofd (★3.2)

This spot is very shallow but certainly suitable as a snorkeling location or if you feel like looking for specific life during a shallow dive. Parking is available next to the restaurant and holiday park. Please note! Deeper than 5 meters you are in the shipping channel!

Le Serpent (★3.7)

Le Serpent (★3.7)

Le Serpent is a concrete wreck that was sunk in 2011 as an artificial reef near Scharendijke. The sinking did not go as planned, which is why the wreck ended up much deeper than planned. After a fatal accident, the wreck was closed and you can only enter through the open hatches. Note! For experienced diver only.

Den Osse Haven (★4.0)

Den Osse Haven (★4.0)

It is a 200 meter walk along the dike. Mean the left side of the breakwater otherwise you will end up in the harbor right away! The first part from the shore is quite shallow and sandy. At about 100m from the shore the bottom then goes steeply down (especially near the breakwater).

Slikken van Flakkee (★3.5)

Slikken van Flakkee (★3.5)

Due to its limited opening hours this spot is very untouched. Shallow but definitely worth a try if you don’t need to go deeper than 5 meters. Easily accessible from the parking lot.

Grevelingen (★3.7)

Grevelingen (★3.7)

The Grevelingenmeer is one of the most popular diving locations in the Netherlands. There are many dive sites to visit, from shallow to deep wrecks! Come, dive and enjoy.

Blokkendam Noordzee zijde (★3.5)

Blokkendam Noordzee zijde (★3.5)

One of the few interesting dive sites on the North Sea side in this area. Be careful, you are not allowed to dive in the harbour and in calm weather it is nice to dive the outside of the block dam. Also take a trip on the sand and go looking for sepiola and flatfish.

Springersdiep (★2.9)

Springersdiep (★2.9)

A beautiful dive site where not much diving is done. This makes it fairly untouched and fun diving up to 5 meters. After that the offer decreases. Pay attention to the sailing routes and surfers if you go diving or make ascents here.
