About this dive site

This dive site, Scharendijke Haven, is easily accessible via a staircase from the harbour, specifically on the Grevelingen side. Divers can explore along the dive path, where they will encounter the remains of an almost unrecognisable wreck and a distinctive starting tower, previously used in sailing competitions. The underwater navigation is straightforward, making it a good site for relaxed exploration.

The site boasts a diverse array of marine life, thriving on both hard surfaces and the sandy bottom. Among the common sightings are various sponges, sea squirts, gobies, lobsters, North Sea crabs, and jellyfish, offering rich opportunities for observation and macro photography.

While no specific 'best time' is mentioned, diving in the Netherlands typically calls for appropriate cold water gear year-round. This site is particularly well-suited for beginners due to its shallow depth and ease of access. Freedivers and snorkelers will also find the site enjoyable given its shallow average depth and interesting marine ecosystem. Divers should remain attentive to boat traffic, especially near the harbour entrance.
