De Quaak is a muck diving site located at the Zeelandbrug in the Oosterschelde. Divers access the water via a shore entry, where the seabed drops to depths between 10 and 30 metres. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 10 metres, supporting the slow, methodical pace required for this type of diving. Conditions are influenced by moderate and variable currents, making it essential to plan dives around the tidal cycle. Water temperatures fluctuate between 7 and 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Divers should exercise caution at the entry and exit points due to the presence of sharp rock.
