Dreischor Gemaal

5.0(2 reviews)Netherlands, Europe

When in the water, swim out to the open. After maybe 30 metres there's a shoal. From there it drops steeply till about 25 metres. Stay at a maximum of about 8 metres though and keep the wall on your right side untill you see a trail of death shelves. Follow the trail up and enjoy. Great place for photographers. Meer informatie over de locatie: http://www.anemoon.org/anemoon/lokaties/moo/dreischor Park your car below the Dike. Go over some steep steps and descent on the other side. Less experienced divers could take a rope to make access to the water easier Dreischor Gemaal is also known as Dreisschor Gemaal, Het gemaal.

Plompetoren

5.0(1 review)Netherlands, Europe

From the parking you can go straight into the water. It is a bit of a climb on the slippery rocks, but is not hard. The sandy bottom is covered with rocks, which makes the life abundant and diverse. The slope goes down rather quick to about 30 meters. Lots of different nudibraches, anemones, big lobsters, a lot of crabs. Visibility is not always good, but it is a nice dive site. Be aware of the currents, you can only dive on the change of tides!!! Plompetoren is on the Plompetorenweg along the Oosterschelde, between Schelphoek and Burghsluis. Drive along the mainroad N59 coming from Zierikzee in the direction of Middelburg. Follow directions Burghsluis and from Burghsluis drive east, the water on your right-hand side. You will see the big tower which is called Plompetoren and the parking here. From the parking, you can go straight into the water.

No reviews yetNetherlands, Zeeland, Grevelingen

Meer informatie over de duiklocatie: http://www.anemoon.org/anemoon/lokaties/moo/t-koepeltje Koepeltje Parking is possible at the parking lot of the Frittuur. Like most of the Zeeland dive sites, you'll have to make the stairway over the dike (entrance is about 30m behind the chippy). On the other side of the dike, head right, just across the sandy beach. There's a pool you need to swim through (the water isn't the best and in summertimes it's muddy; beware your gear is fixed propperly - visibility in this area is about 0!) Exit the pool and start / enjoy your dive along the wall.
