Best for intermediate divers, shore entry, strong current.
Dcnv is a shore-entry artificial reef located in the Grevelingen, Netherlands. This site functions as a drift dive, where strong currents carry divers along the reef structure. The wreck lies at depths between 25 and 72 metres, requiring strict depth management and careful gas planning. Visibility is variable, ranging from 1 to 10 metres. Due to the strong currents and potential for entanglement, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Water temperatures fluctuate between 7C and 20C throughout the year, making thermal protection essential. Divers must remain vigilant regarding boat traffic and use a surface marker buoy. On-site facilities include changing rooms, showers, a rinse station, and air fills.

Check the tidal tables carefully before entering, as the current runs strongest around the peak of the tidal cycle and can exceed safe limits for the skill level if misjudged. On-site facilities include changing rooms, showers, a rinse station, and air fills, so a full day's diving is practical without needing to leave the site.
