This dive site, Lokkersnol, located in the Oosterschelde estuary, is celebrated for its surprising diversity and abundance of marine life. While accessible from shore via a considerable walk, it is also a popular spot for boat dives, offering more convenient access. Divers can expect to explore a varied underwater environment, characteristic of the Oosterschelde, with an average depth of 7 meters, though no specific history or navigation complexities are noted.
The site is teeming with typical Oosterschelde marine life. In its shallower sections, divers frequently encounter various species of wrasses and a wide array of colourful nudibranchs. The rich ecosystem supports numerous small fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates, making it an excellent location for macro photography.
The best time to dive Lokkersnol, like most Oosterschelde sites, is around slack tide to minimize current impact and improve visibility. Its shallow average depth makes it suitable for both snorkeling and freediving, particularly in the calmer, shallower zones. Divers should be prepared for the walk if opting for shore entry and always monitor tide charts for optimal and safe diving conditions.
