About this dive site

This dive site, Wemeldinge Oost-Linda, is accessed from a pier in the Netherlands. Divers walk to the end of the pier to enter the water. Navigation primarily involves following the underwater extension of the pier. It is crucial for divers to spend the first half of the dive on the left side of the pier, but to ensure they have crossed to the other side before reaching a specific turn, as beyond this point, currents become significantly stronger and visibility deteriorates considerably.

The underwater environment is characterized by a silty bottom, which tends to limit the diversity of larger marine animals. Despite this, the site supports a thriving community of smaller creatures. Divers can anticipate encountering various species of shrimps, numerous tube worms embedded in the substrate, and different types of flatfish that are well-adapted to the silty conditions.

The available information does not specify an ideal time of year to visit this dive site. Given the strong currents and poor visibility, it is not recommended for freedivers or beginner scuba divers. Experienced divers should exercise caution, particularly when approaching the pier's turn, and must be prepared for challenging conditions, including very low visibility.
