Best for advanced divers, 2-40m, shore entry, moderate current.
Galjoen zonder Poen is a wreck dive located 100 metres from the shore in Wemeldinge, Netherlands. This site reaches depths between 2 and 40 metres, making it suitable for advanced divers capable of managing decompression obligations. The environment is characterised by moderate currents and consistently low visibility of approximately 3 metres, necessitating the use of primary and backup torches. Divers must be aware of boat traffic at the surface and should deploy a delayed surface marker buoy during every ascent. Due to the depth and potential for entanglement, careful dive planning is essential. Air fills are available at a nearby dive shop.

With visibility fixed at 3 metres, a primary and backup torch are essential kit, not optional extras. Plan your decompression obligations conservatively before you enter, as the combination of depth, current, and low visibility leaves little margin for improvisation.
Climb down the stairs, enter the water and swim in a northern direction, while compensating for the strong current.
