Lokkersnol is a challenging shore-entry site located at the Zeelandbrug in the Oosterschelde. The topography consists of a mixed reef and muck bottom ranging from 13 to 20 metres in depth. Due to strong currents and visibility often limited to 1 to 3 metres, this site is suitable only for advanced divers. Divers must manage entanglement risks and sharp structures, requiring precise buoyancy control. A surface marker buoy and torch are essential equipment. Night diving is possible, often providing better conditions when currents ease. Species recorded around this area include various sea slugs, crustaceans, seals, and jellyfish.
