About this dive site

This dive site, located in The Oosterschelde near Anna Jacobapolder, offers a unique experience for experienced divers. Once a mussel farm, the area retains traces of its past with visible ropes indicating the former cultivation practices.

The site is renowned for its abundance of nudibranchs in countless shapes, sizes, and colors – a major draw for underwater photographers. While the maximum depth reaches 35 meters (115 feet), diving within the first 15 metres (49 feet) provides ample opportunity to explore this fascinating environment.
