Schelpenhoek

★★★★☆ (20)

This spot can be reached via the Heerekeet and then drive along the nature reserve. From the parking lot it is a bit of a walk. You can enter the water with a staircase and the steep wall continues to a depth of almost 50 meters.

Een mooie stek afgewisseld met stenen en zandvlaktes waar je typisch Oosterschelde leven tegen komt.

Putti’s Place (★3.9)

Putti’s Place (★3.9)

Putti’s place is deeper than the Goes lock and it can be quite currenty. Due to the various breakwaters you don’t always swim parallel to the shore and it is strongly advised to set your compass well and follow it! In the water it is shallow for a while, but soon you come to a wall that quickly runs to 25 and deep

Wissenkerke Westnol (★5.0)

Westnol is a dive site that is only accessible at low tide, it is not an easy place where the current can be quite strong and the risk of poor visibility is considerable. Due to the presence of shallow oyster banks, for the west side of the nol, it is good to make a dive plan.

Vlietepolder Peilhuisje (★0.0)

Due to the storm surge barrier, there can be a strong current and a very short turn. The chance of poor visibility is therefore somewhat greater than in other places. You can dive quite deep here, but then you are in the shipping channel, which is not allowed. There is reasonable parking.
