About Brouwerssluis
Brouwerssluis is a tide-dependent shore dive on the Brouwersdam's North Sea side. It works best at high water and after a few windless days, when the shoreline entry stays manageable and the lock area does not push the flow too hard. The site is shallow, sandy, and anemone-rich rather than coral-heavy, with crabs, flatfish, bass, cuttlefish, and the occasional seal adding interest. Low water and stronger current quickly make it a poor choice, so timing is the whole dive here.
