Zeelandbrug is a unique artificial reef site located beneath the longest bridge in the Netherlands. Divers explore the concrete pillars that extend from 5 to 30 metres deep, with an average depth of 15 metres. Shore entry is straightforward, with the site located 50 metres from the bank. Conditions vary, with visibility ranging from 3 to 10 metres and moderate currents that can intensify. Divers should time their entry to slack water to avoid strong currents, particularly during spring tides. Entanglement hazards exist around the pillar bases, and the encrusted surfaces feature sharp edges. On-site facilities include parking and a rinse station.

Dive as close to slack water as possible because the current between the bridge pillars can exceed what the moderate rating suggests, particularly on spring tides. Watch for entanglement hazards around the pillar bases and treat the encrusted surfaces with care, as edges are sharp.
Enter from one of the stairs. Only park in the marked compartments.
