About this dive site

This dive site, Haven Kats Noord, offers a diverse underwater experience best accessed by entering the water at the beach corner next to the mouth. Divers should proceed diagonally to the left, starting amidst beautifully overgrown blocks. As you continue left, the scenery transitions gradually to a sandy bottom. The site does not have a known history or special story associated with it in the provided information, but its unique layout makes it a rewarding exploration.

The dive site is rich in small marine life, particularly in the sandy areas. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of flatfish, crabs, hermit crabs, and shrimps. The 'overgrown' blocks suggest a habitat supporting a good array of smaller organisms and marine flora, contributing to the overall biodiversity of the site.

While specific information about the best time to visit is not provided, diving in the Netherlands generally benefits from calmer weather. The transition from block formations to sandy plains offers varied photographic opportunities. It is suitable for both snorkelers and freedivers due to its accessible depths and shore entry, allowing them to explore the shallower, overgrown areas and the initial sandy stretches.
