There is not much diving on the pier. It is a long walk but the spot is worth it! Please note, it is located at the harbor entrance of Zierikzee so do not dive in the waterway. One spot runs down to a depth of 50 meters but after the Second World War ammunition was dumped here and it is a prohibited diving area.

Halfway between, you wouldn’t expect it, Kulkenol and the Zeeland Bridge you will find this dive site. You can dive here around the turn but also during or after the turn low tide enter the water and drift towards the Zeeland Bridge.

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.

Levensstrijd (Life Struggle) is a relatively shallow dive site, but if you don’t like the crowds at the neighboring dive sites, then this is the place for you. You can dive both along the rock dump on the dike and the sandy bottom where you can also find harder substrate.

Between the Zeelandbrug and the harbour de Val, at the height of the 2nd pillar you will find remains of the old quay wall of Zierikzee. This runs from about 3 meters at low tide to about 20 meters. The spot is actually not accessible from land, which makes a boat dive necessary.

You can only park at the parking lot of the restaurant, from there it is still quite a walk before you can enter the water. It is best to enter the water at the left side of the light pole and from there parallel to the side to dive towards the Zeeland bridge.

Like a number of other spots in the Oosterschelde it is quite a walk. A boat dive can be a solution here. It is a surprisingly nice and diverse spot with lots of life.

Parking is possible at “Borrendamme“ on the Boerenweg. Then follows a long walk. The bottom of Kistersnol is nicely strewn with blocks and oysters. Since you are closer to the storm surge barrier here, the current of Kistersnol can be strong and the turnaround here is very short.

Noordbout is much less popular than Zuidbout, partly because there is also a lot less to see here. You enter the water at the point of the pier and swim out. Then you can dive to the left side. The place has a depth of about 20 meters. If you want you can dive from here towards Zuidbout.

Behind pension Flauwershof you park the car and walk over the dike. Please note, parking is on private property here. The spot is alternating from sand to oyster beds.
