Stalleke

One of the most desolate but therefore beautiful spots in the Oosterschelde. Attach a rope to the ring on the dike and go into the water. You can dive here at both the high and low tide but the current can be strong. A boat dive can be a real bonus!

Kisternol

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.

Burghsluis Oostbout

It is strongly advised not to dive here at high tide, as once the tide has turned, there is a risk that you will be pulled away from the shore by the outflowing water, towards the storm surge barrier.
