Best for beginner divers, 5-12m, shore entry, mild current.
Zeelandbrug is a shore-entry dive site located beneath one of the longest bridges in Europe. The bridge pillars serve as artificial reef structures, providing a focal point for dives in depths ranging from 5 to 25 metres, with an average of 15 metres. Divers should expect mild currents and visibility fluctuating between 3 and 12 metres. Due to active boat traffic, the use of a surface marker buoy is essential for safety. The site is suitable for beginners, though divers must monitor thermal protection against cold water temperatures and remain aware of potential entanglement risks near the structure. Changing rooms are available on-site to assist with preparation in the Dutch climate.
