De Broezel is a mild-current Oosterschelde shore dive.
De Broezel is a shore dive in the Oosterschelde that works well as a quieter alternative to busier nearby entries. The shallow sand and oyster banks make it a flexible, low-friction dive with mild current, and the real interest comes from the slugs, pipefish, and other life hiding in the bottom texture. It is the sort of site you use when you want an easy day, not a showy profile.
