Levensstrijd is a shallow shore-entry reef site located at the Zeelandbrug in the Oosterschelde. Divers can explore the reef structure at depths ranging from 4 to 9 metres. The site is suitable for beginners, featuring mild currents and visibility typically between 5 and 10 metres. As the Oosterschelde is a tidal area, conditions shift throughout the day. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly between 7 and 20 degrees Celsius, requiring appropriate exposure protection such as a drysuit outside of the summer months. Hazards include boat traffic near the entry and exit points, as well as sharp rocks along the shoreline. Divers should plan their entry and exit carefully to account for these factors.
