Best for intermediate divers, 5-25m, shore entry, moderate current.
Zeelandbrug is an artificial reef formed by the bridge piling system in the Oosterschelde. Divers navigate a series of concrete and steel structures that create a layered habitat ranging from 5 to 25 metres in depth, though the site extends to 45 metres. This shore-entry site is best suited for intermediate divers capable of managing moderate currents. Divers should time their entry to coincide with slack water to ensure a controlled drift along the pilings. Visibility typically ranges between 3 and 10 metres, and water temperatures fluctuate from 7 to 20 degrees Celsius. Facilities include parking, toilets, showers, changing rooms, a rinse station, and air fills.

The site is accessible from the shore and by boat.
