Best for advanced divers, 10-45m, shore entry, strong current.
Kats lange pier is a shore-entry drift dive located at the Zeelandbrug in the Oosterschelde. This site reaches depths between 10 and 45 metres and is suited for advanced divers due to strong currents. Visibility is limited, typically ranging from 1 to 4 metres, requiring careful navigation. The pier structure provides reef features that offer shelter when the current eases. Divers must time their entry precisely to the slack water window to manage the tidal flow. Water temperatures fluctuate between 7 and 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Species recorded around this area include seahorses, European common cuttlefish, various sea slugs, lobsters, and crabs.
