This dive site, known as Oesterputten, is situated in the Netherlands and is best accessed at low tide by crossing the old harbour mouth on foot. Divers can then walk to a breakwater and enter the water, following a route straight ahead before making a loop to the left. The site is notable for experiencing strong currents, particularly after the decanting phase of the tide, which can carry divers through its unique 'bowl' topography.
Oesterputten boasts a rich underwater ecosystem. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of marine life, including numerous flatfish of reasonable size. In the springtime, there is also a chance to spot the distinctive lumpfish, adding to the site's unique biodiversity.
The best time to visit this dive site is during low tide to facilitate shore access. Given the strong currents, this site is primarily recommended for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving conditions. While specific historical details are not provided, its name 'Oesterputten' (Oyster pits) suggests a historical connection to oyster farming. Freedivers would find the strong currents and depth challenging.
