Here you can dive from the jetty on oyster beds, an artificial reef of reefballs and many other hard substrate that is nicely overgrown. The maximum depth is about 30 metres, but you will find most life in the shallow water. Duikmee vzw, 2840 Rumst Put van Ekeren (★4.1) The well of the Ekeren or Muisbroek domain is an excellent place to conduct training dives. The visibility is usually quite good and there is no current to consider. One2Dive, 4907 ZK Oosterhout Zeelandbrug (★3.9) Zeeland Bridge can be called the most popular dive site on the Eastern Scheldt. Especially in the sepia season (May-June) this site is very popular among divers from the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. Scuba World Arnhem, 6811 CG Arnhem Bergse Diepsluis (★3.7) The Bergse Diepsluis, also known as Oesterdam or the Thoolse Gat by local divers, is a very accessible site and enables divers to get acquainted with the wonders of the Oosterschelde National Park. This site has little to no current due to its location, making it an ideal spot for beginners. Scuba World Arnhem, 6811 CG Arnhem Scharendijke “Kabbelaar“ (★3.7) You reach the dive site via a jetty.
