Best for intermediate divers, 5-30m, shore entry, moderate current.
Zeelandbrug is a distinctive shore dive located beneath a major bridge in Wemeldinge. The site features concrete pillars that function as an artificial reef, extending from 5 metres down to 30 metres. Divers navigate these structures and nearby wrecks, which present entanglement and overhead risks. Conditions include moderate currents and visibility ranging from 3 to 10 metres. Due to the tidal nature of the Oosterschelde, slack water is short and requires precise timing. The site is suitable for intermediate divers who can manage cold water and boat traffic. On-site facilities include parking, showers, changing rooms, and air fills.
