Oosterschelde in Wemeldinge is a tidal estuary offering a mix of natural and artificial reefs. Divers experience depths ranging from 5 to 40 metres, with an average of 15 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers due to strong currents and low visibility, which typically fluctuates between 1 and 6 metres. Shore entry is standard, and the use of a surface marker buoy is essential due to active boat traffic. Given the water temperature range of 7 to 20 degrees Celsius, a dry suit is recommended for most of the year. Night diving is permitted, and all dives should be planned around slack water to manage the current.
