Best for intermediate divers, 7-30m, shore entry, strong current.
Oostnol Colijnsplaat, located at the Zeelandbrug, offers a combination of reef and muck diving within the Oosterschelde tidal system. Divers navigate depths between 7 and 30 metres, with an average of 12 metres. Due to strong tidal currents, planning dives around slack water is essential. Visibility is limited to 1 to 3 metres, requiring proficient compass and buoyancy skills. Shore entry involves navigating a surf break over sharp rocks, necessitating sturdy boots and gloves. Given the water temperatures ranging from 7 to 20 degrees Celsius, a drysuit is recommended for most of the year. Divers should remain aware of potential entanglement risks near submerged structures.
