Shallow shore dive with dike access and a channel boundary
Bommenede is a shallow shore dive in Zeeland with parking outside the dike and a short walk to the entry. The site runs along a vegetated dam toward a channel that is off-limits for diving, with siltier ground farther out and anemones, flatfish, and shellfish in the mix. It is simple to reach, but the boundary matters more than the water depth, so the dive needs steady buoyancy and conservative routing.
