This dive site, Springersdiep, is located in the Grevelingenmeer, Netherlands. It is known for being largely untouched due to infrequent diving, offering a unique and serene experience, especially in its shallower sections. Underwater navigation is straightforward given the shallow depths, primarily exploring sandbank habitats where marine life thrives.
The site is home to the classic marine life of the Grevelingen, which includes various species of crabs, small fish inhabiting the creeks, and a diverse array of organisms living on and around the sandbanks. While there are no large pelagic animals, the focus here is on the rich macro and smaller marine inhabitants.
The best time to visit Springersdiep is likely during calmer weather to avoid surface chop from sailing routes and surfers. Divers should exercise caution and be aware of boat traffic and surfers when ascending or diving near the surface. Its shallow maximum depth of 4 meters makes it an ideal location for beginner divers and a perfect spot for snorkeling and freediving.
