Eemshaven is a shore-entry dive site in the Netherlands offering depths between 6 and 20 metres. The site features a reef structure that requires strong navigation skills due to limited visibility, which typically ranges from 1 to 3 metres. Divers must contend with mild currents and active boat traffic, making the use of a surface marker buoy essential throughout the dive. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly, ranging from 5C in winter to 20C in summer, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. This site is suited for advanced divers comfortable with low-light conditions and vessel awareness.
