Time your dive around slack water, as the strong tidal currents in the Oosterschelde make descent and wreck navigation significantly harder on a running tide. A drysuit or thick wetsuit is advisable even in summer, and a dive knife or cutting tool is considered essential kit given the entanglement hazards on the wreck.
Use the steps of the second breakwater from Gorishoek to enter the water. Swim out at 180 degrees south, descend to about 23 metres and head east.
