This dive site, St Annaland, is located in the Netherlands and offers an accessible shore dive experience. Divers can easily enter the water at high tide from a small parking lot, walking along the dike to the bend. The site is particularly suited for a gentle drift dive when diving at rising tide, allowing divers to be carried back towards the entry point. There is no specific history or story provided beyond its operational description.
Underwater, the site features a mix of sandy plains and richly vegetated areas. The dominant vegetation consists of sea squirts and sponges, contributing to a vibrant benthic environment. At the end of the dam, divers can expect to encounter many fish, making it a good spot for observing local marine life.
The best time to visit St Annaland is during a rising tide to take full advantage of the effortless drift dive back to the beach. While generally beginner-friendly due to its shallow depth, divers should be mindful of potential boat traffic close to shore. Both scuba divers and freedivers will find the site suitable, especially those interested in macro photography and observing temperate marine life.
