Best for advanced divers, 10-50m, shore entry, strong current.
Vliete polder pijlhuisje is a demanding drift dive located near the Zeelandbrug. This site features a reef structure that reaches depths between 10 and 50 metres, with an average depth of 25 metres. Divers must contend with strong currents and low visibility, typically ranging from 1 to 2 metres. Shore entry requires navigating surf and a shore break, making this site suitable only for advanced divers. Due to the active boat traffic in the Oosterschelde, the use of a surface marker buoy throughout the entire dive is essential. Tidal planning is critical, and divers should enter close to slack water to manage the current effectively.

Boat traffic in the Oosterschelde is active, so dive a surface marker buoy throughout the dive, not just on ascent. Check tidal tables carefully and enter close to slack to avoid being overwhelmed by the current before you reach depth.
Enter the water at the end of the pier and swim towards the buoy. The pier is very slippery.
